Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There is a hadith with Imam Ahmad, and some scholars have graded it as authentic, that whoever recites one hundred verses at night, the standing prayer of the night is recorded for him, or as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. He asks: What is your opinion of this hadith? And is the recitation limited to this amount?
Answer:
By Allah, I have not looked into this hadith; it needs to be checked. But the Muslim stands in prayer at night for whatever is easy for him, and the more he does, the better. The more he recites from the Qur'an in the night prayer, the better, without doubt.
