Narrated Abu Dharr: We fasted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during Ramadan; but he did not make us get up at night for prayer at any time during the month till seven nights remained; then he made us get up for prayer till a third of the night had passed. When the sixth remaining night came; he did not make us get up for prayer. When the fifth remaining night came; he made us stand in prayer till a half of the night had gone. So I said: Messenger of Allah; I wish you had led us in supererogatory prayers during the whole of tonight. He said: When a man prays with an imam till he goes he is reckoned as having spent a whole night in prayer. On the fourth remaining night he did not make us get up. When the third remaining night came; he gathered his family; his wives; and the people and prayed with us till we were afraid we should miss the falah success. I said: What is falah? He said: The meal before daybreak. Then he did not make us get up for prayer during the remainder of the month.
