==Most Postive Sentiment Hadith in The Book of Qiyam AlLail The Night Prayer and Voluntary Prayers During the Day in Sunan AlNasai==

 

#It was narrated that Ibn Abbas said: When the Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} got up at night to pray Tahajjud; he said: Allahumma; lakal-hamdu anta nurus-samawati Alardi wa man fihinna wa lakal-hamdu anta qayamus-samawati wal ardi wa man fihinna wa lakal-hamdu; anta haqqun wa waduka haqqun wal jannatu haqqun wan-nuru haqqun wan-nabiyuna haqqun wa Muhammadan haqqun; laka aslant wa alaika tawakkaltu wa bika amant. O Allah; '''to You be praise;''' You are the Light of the heavens and earth and whoever is in them. '''To You be praise;''' You are the Sustainer of the Heavens and the earth and whoever is in them. '''To You be praise;''' You are the Sovereign of the heavens and earth and whoever is in them. '''To You be praise;''' You are True; '''Your promise is true;''' '''Paradise is true;''' Hell is true; the Hour is true; the Prophets are true and Muhammad is true. To You have I submitted; '''in You I put my trust and in You I have believed.''' Then one of the narrators Qutaibah mentioned some words the meaning of which was: Wa bika khasamtu wa ilaika hakamtu; ighfirli ma quadrate wa ma akhkhartu wa ma alantu antal-muqaddimu wa antal-mukhkhir; la ilaha illa anta wa la hawla wa la quwata illa billah And with Your help I argue [with my opponents; the non-believers]; and I take You as a judge [to judge between us]. '''Forgive me my past and future sins and those that I commit openly.''' You are the One who puts [some people] back and bring [others] forward. There is no God but You and there is no power and no strength except with Allah. [[SunanAlNasai-017-001-15568]]

#It was narrated from Saad Bin Hisham that: He met Ibn Abbas and asked him about Witr. He said: Shall I not lead you to one who knows best among the people of the world about the witr of the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} ? He said: Yes. Ibn Abbas said: It is Aishah. So go to her and ask her about witr and then come back to me and tell me the answer that she gives you. So I went to Hakim Bin Aflah and asked him to go accompany me to her. He said: I shall not go to her; for I told her not to say anything about these two conflicting groups; but she refused to accept my advice and went on to participate in the conflict. I swore an oath; beseeching him to take me to her. So he came with me and went unto her. She said to Hakim: Who is this with you? He said: He is Saad Bin Hisham. She said: Which Hisham? He said: Ibn Amir. '''She supplicated for mercy for him and said:''' '''What a good man Amir was.''' He said: O Mother of the Believers; tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah. She said: Dont you read the Quran? I said: Yes. She said The character of the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} was the Quran. He said: I wanted to get up and leave ; then I thought of the Qiyam night prayer of the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} and said: Tell me about the Qiyam of the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}}. She said: Do you not recite this surah: O you wrapped in garments? I said: Yes. She said: Allah; '''the Mighty and Sublime;''' made Qiyam AlLail obligatory at the beginning of this surah; so the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} and his companions prayed Qiyam AlLail for one year. Allah SWT withheld the latter part of this surah for twelve months; then he revealed the lessening of this duty at the end of this surah; so Qiyam AlLail became voluntary after it had been obligatory. I felt inclined to stand up and not ask anything further ; then I thought of the witr of the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}}. I said: O Mother of the Believers; tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}}. She said: We used to prepare his siwak and water for his ablution; and Allah SWT would wake him when He wished during the night. He would use the siwak; perform ablution; and then pray eight rakahs in which he would not sit until he reached the eighth one. Then he would sit and remember Allah SWT and supplicate; then he would say the taslim that we could hear. Then he would pray two rakas sitting after uttering the taslim; then he would pray one rakah; and that made eleven rakahs; O my son! When the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} grew older and put on weight; he prayed witr with seven rakahs; then he prayed two rakahs sitting down after saying the taslim; and that made nine rakahs. O my son; when the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} offered a prayer; '''he liked to continue to offer it;''' and when sleep; sickness; or pain distracted him from praying Qiyam AlLail; he would pray twelve rakahs during the day. I am not aware of the Prophet of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} having recited the whole Quran during a single night; or praying through the whole night until morning; or fasting a complete month; except Ramadan. I went to Ibn Abbas and told him what she had said; and he said: She has spoken the truth. If I could go to her and meet her face to face I would so that she could tell me all of that verbally.

#It was narrated from Abdullah Bin Khabbab Bin AlAratt; from his father who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} ; that: He watched the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} one night when he prayed all night until Fajr time. When the Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said the taslim at the end of his prayer; Khabbab said to him: May my father and mother be ransomed for you O Messenger of Allah; '''last night you offered a prayer the like of which I have never seen you offer.''' The Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: Yes indeed. This is a prayer of hope and fear in which I asked my Lord; '''the Mighty and Sublime;''' for three things; of which He gave me two and did not grant me one. '''I asked my Lord not to destroy us with which he destroyed the nations before us;''' and He granted me that. '''And I asked my Lord not to let an enemy from without prevail over us;''' and He granted me that. And I asked my Lord not to divide us into warring factions and He did not grant me that.

#It was narrated that Ali; '''may Allah SWT be pleased with him;''' said: The Messenger of Allah {{SAWSYMBOL}} said: O people of the Quran; pray witr; for Allah; '''the Mighty and Sublime;''' is Witr One and loves AlWitr the odd numbered. [[SunanAlNasai-017-001-15624]]

#It was narrated from Abu AlDarda who attributed it to the Prophet {{SAWSYMBOL}} : Whoever goes to his bed intending to get up and pray qiyam at night; then sleep overwhelms him until morning; will have recorded that which he intended and his sleep is a charity given to him by his Lord; '''the Mighty and Sublime.'''
