Question:
In one of her questions, she says: I read a hadith from the Messenger of Allah What is the meaning of the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Its meaning is an exhortation; its meaning is an exhortation to stand in night prayer, and that a person should stand in prayer for as long as is easy for him, and that the reward is according to the length or brevity of the standing. So whoever stands with ten verses has a reward, and whoever stands with a hundred verses has a greater reward, and whoever stands with more than that, meaning, the longer the standing and the recitation of the Qur'an in the night prayer, the greater the reward. Indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would prolong his standing until his feet swelled from the length of the standing. And one night, the noble Companion Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) stood with him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surat al-Baqarah, then recited Surat al-Nisa, then recited Surat Ali 'Imran. He did not pass a verse containing mercy without pausing to ask for it, and he did not pass a verse containing warning without pausing and seeking refuge. This was the length of the standing, until Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) was about to sit down and leave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) standing because of the length of the standing. In any case, the night prayer has great virtue and a large reward, and the longer a person stands in it and increases the number of rak'ahs, the better it is. Yes.
