Question:
The questioner: What is meant by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "What a good man 'Abdullah is, if he were to stand in night prayer"? And what is the advice for me, when my soul overpowers me regarding standing in night prayer, even though, praise be to Allah, I possess the physical strength to do so, and my sleep is little?
Answer:
Accustom yourself to standing in night prayer, and Allah will help you, if Allah wills. And resolve to do so, and Allah will help you, if Allah wills. Yes.
