Tahajjud
7.1 Concerning Prayer in the Night
1 Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir from Sa'id ibn
al-Jubayr that a man who has approval (as a relater of hadith), told him
that 'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "If a man prays in the night and sleep overcomes him during it, Allah
writes for him the reward of his prayer, and his sleep is sadaqa for
him."
[In Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i]
2 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n-Nadr, the mawla
of 'Umar ibn 'Ubaydullah, from Abu Salama ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman that 'A'isha, the
wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I used to
sleep directly in front of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, and my legs were in his qibla. When he prostrated, he would
nudge me and I would pull up my legs. When he stood up, I stretched them out
again." She added, "In those days there were no lamps in the houses."
[cf Bukhari 375]
3 Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwa from
his father from 'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "When one of you nods off while he is praying, he should go and lie down
until he is no longer sleepy. If someone prays when he is drowsy, he may not
know whether he is asking for forgiveness or asking for something bad for
himself."
[cf Bukhari 209]
4 Yahya related to me from Malik from Isma'il from Ibn Abi Hakim that he had
heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
heard a woman praying at night. He said, "Who is that?" and someone said to him,
"It is al-Hawla bint Tuwayt. She does not sleep in the night." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, disapproved of that and his
disapproval showed in his face. Then he said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted,
does not become weary, but you become weary. Take on whatever is within your
capability."
[al-Bukhari has it from 'A'isha]
5 Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father that 'Umar
ibn al-Khattab used to pray as much as Allah willed in the night until at the
end of the night he would wake his family for the prayer. He used to say to
them, "The prayer, the prayer." Then he would recite the ayat, "Command your
family to pray, and be constant in it. We do not ask you for provision. We
provide for you. And the best end result is gained by taqwa." (20:132)
6 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab
used to say, "Sleep is disapproved of before 'Isha' as is conversation after
it."
7 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar
used to say, "(Voluntary) prayer in both the day and night is two at a time with
a taslim after every rak'at."
Malik said, "That is the custom among us."
7.2 How the Prophet Prayed the Witr
8 Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from 'Urwa ibn az-Zubayr
from 'A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to
pray eleven rak'ats in the night, making them odd with a single one, and
when he had finished he lay down on his right side.
[In Muslim]
9 Yahya related to me from Malik from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id al-Maqburi
from Abu Salama ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn 'Awf that he asked 'A'isha, the wife of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, what the prayer of the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was like during
Ramadan. She said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, did not exceed eleven rak'ats in Ramadan or at any other time. He prayed
four - do not ask me about their beauty or length. Then he prayed another four -
do not ask me about their beauty and length. Then he prayed three."
'A'isha continued, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, do you sleep before you do
the witr?' He said, 'A'isha, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.'
"
[cf Bukhari 1909]
10 Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwa from his father that
'A'isha, Umm al-Muminin said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to pray thirteen rak'ats in the night and then
would pray two rak'ats when he heard the adhan for the Subh
prayer."
[In Muslim]
11 Yahya related to me from Malik from Makhrama ibn Sulayman
from Kurayb, the mawla of Ibn 'Abbas, that 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas told him that he
had spent a night at the house of Maimuna, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, who was also Ibn 'Abbas' mother's sister. Ibn
'Abbas said, "I lay down with my head on the breadth of the cushion, and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his wife lay
down with their heads on its length. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, slept, until, halfway through the night or a little before
or after it, he awoke and sat up and wiped the sleep away from his face with his
hand. Then he recited the last ten ayats of Sura Ali 'Imran (sura
3). Then he got up and went over to a water-skin which was hanging up and did
wudu from it, doing his wudu' thoroughly, and then he stood in prayer."
Ibn 'Abbas continued, "I stood up and did the same and then went and stood by
his side. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, put
his right hand on my head and took my right ear and tweaked it. He prayed two
rak'as, then two rak'ats, then two rak'ats, then two rak'ats, then two rak'ats,
then two rak'ats, and then prayed an odd rak'at. Then he lay down until the
mu'adhdhin came to him, and then prayed two quick rak'ats, and went out and
prayed Subh."
[cf Bukhari 181]
12 Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from his father
that 'Abdullah ibn Qays ibn Makhrama told him that Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani
said one night that he had gone to observe the prayer of the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, "I rested my head on his
threshold. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, got
up and prayed two long, long, long rak'ats. Then he prayed two rak'ats which
were slightly less long than the two before them. Then he prayed two rak'ats
which were slightly less long than the two before them. Then he prayed two
rak'ats which were slightly less long than the two before them. Then he prayed
two rak'ats which were slightly less long than the two before them. Then he
prayed two rak'ats which were slightly less long than the two before them. Then
he prayed an odd rak'at, making thirteen rak'ats in all."
[In Muslim]
7.3 The Command to Pray the Witr
13 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' and 'Abdullah
ibn 'Umar that a man asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, about night prayers. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Night prayers are two by two, and when you are afraid
that dawn is approaching, then pray one rak'at as witr to make what you
have prayed odd."
[cf Bukhari 946]
14 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id from Muhammad ibn
Yahya ibn Habban from Ibn Muhayriz that a man from the Kinana tribe called al-Mukhdaji
heard a man in Syria known as Abu Muhammad saying, "The witr is
obligatory (fard)." Al-Mukhdaji said, "I went to 'Ubada ibn as-Samit and
presented myself to him as he was going to the mosque, and told him what Abu
Muhammad had said. 'Ubada said that Abu Muhammad had lied and that he had heard
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Allah the
Majestic and Mighty has written five prayers for mankind, and whoever does them
and does not waste anything of them by making light of what is due to them,
there is a pact for him with Allah that He will admit him into the Garden.
Whoever does not do them, there is no pact for him with Allah. If He wishes, He
punishes him, and if He wishes, He admits him into the Garden.' "
[In Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah]
15 Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Bakr ibn 'Umar
that Sa'id ibn Yasar said, "I was travelling with 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar on the
road to Makka, and fearing that it was nearly dawn I dismounted, prayed the
witr and then caught up with him. 'Abdullah said, 'Do you not have a good
enough example in the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace?' I said, 'Of course, by Allah!' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray the witr on his
camel.'"
[cf Bukhari 954]
16 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id that Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab
said, "Abu Bakr as-Siddiq used to pray the witr when he wished to go to
bed, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab used to pray the witr at the end of the
night. As for me, I pray the witr when I go to bed."
17 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man asked
'Abdullah ibn 'Umar whether the witr was obligatory and 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar
replied, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
prayed the witr, and the Muslims prayed the witr." The man began
repeating his question, and 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar kept saying, "The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed the witr, and the
Muslims prayed the witr."
18 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that 'A'isha, the wife of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, "If someone
fears that he will sleep through till the morning, let him pray the witr
before he goes to sleep, and if someone hopes to wake for the last part of the
night, let him delay his witr."
19 Yahya related to me from Malik that Nafi' said, "I was with 'Abdullah ibn
'Umar in Makka. The sky was clouded over and 'Abdullah was worried that dawn was
approaching so he prayed one rak'a for witr. Then the clouds cleared and
he saw that it was still night, so he made his prayers even by praying one rak'a.
Then he continued to pray two rak'ats at a time until, fearing that dawn was
approaching, he prayed one rak'a for witr."
20 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar used to
say the taslim between the two rak'as and the one rak'a of witr so
that he could ask for something he needed.
21 Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas
used to pray witr after 'Isha' with one rak'a.
Malik said, "This is not the practice with us. Rather three is the minimum
for witr."
22 Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar that 'Abdullah ibn
'Umar used to say, "The Maghrib prayer is the witr of the daytime
prayers."
Malik said, "If someone prays the witr at the beginning of the night
and goes to sleep and then wakes up and it seems good to him to pray, let him
pray - two rak'ats at a time. That is what I like most of what I have heard."
7.4 Praying the Witr After The Break of Dawn
23 Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abd al-Karm ibn Abi'l-Mukhariq al-Basri
from Sa'id ibn Jubayr that 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas went to sleep, and when he woke
up, he said to his servant, "Go and see what the people have done," (by that
time his sight had gone.) The servant went out and returned saying, "The people
have left from Subh," so 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas got up and prayed the
witr and then prayed Subh.
24 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas
and 'Ubada ibn as-Samit and al-Qasim ibn Muhammad and 'Abdullah ibn 'Amir ibn
Rabi'a had all prayed the witr after the break of dawn.
25 Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwa from his father that
'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said, "I do not mind if the iqama for the Subh
prayer is called while I am still praying the witr."
26 Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Sa'id said, "'Ubada ibn as-Samit
used to lead the people in prayer. One day he came out for Subh and the
mu'adhdhin began to give the iqama for the Subh prayer. 'Ubada
silenced him, prayed the witr and then led them in Subh."
27 Yahya related to me from Malik that 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim said, "I
heard 'Abdullah ibn 'Amir ibn Rabi'a say, 'I sometimes pray the witr
while hearing the iqama or after the break of dawn.'" 'Abd ar-Rahman was
not certain which he said.
28 Malik related to me that 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim heard his father, al-Qasim
ibn Muhammad, say, "I have prayed the witr after dawn."
Malik said, "Only a person who oversleeps so that he has not done the witr
prays it after dawn. No one should intentionally do his witr after dawn."
7.5 The Two Rak'ats of Fajr
29 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' from 'Abdullah
ibn 'Umar that Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to pray two quick rak'as after the mu'adhdhin had finished
the adhan for the Subh prayer before the iqama was said for
the prayer.
[cf Bukhari 593. Also in Muslim]
30 Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Sa'id that 'A'isha, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray the two rak'as of the dawn
(fajr) so quickly that I would ask myself whether he had recited the Umm
al-Qur'an or not.'"
[al-Bukhari (with a connected isnad) and Muslim)
31 Yahya related to me from Malik from Sharik ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Namir
that Abu Salama ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman said, "Some people heard the iqama and
started to pray. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, came out and said, 'Are you doing two prayers at the same time? Are you
doing two prayers at the same time?' That was about the Subh prayer and
the two rak'ats before Subh."
32 Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar
missed the two rak'as of dawn and then prayed them after the sun had risen.
33 Yahya related to me from Malik from 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim that al-Qasim
ibn Muhammad had done the same as Ibn 'Umar.
