Question:
This questioner says: I have several questions about winter. I read in one of the books that the Salaf (the earliest generations) would rejoice upon the arrival of winter. Is there anything reported regarding this?
Answer:
No, it is reported that they rejoiced in winter because of the length of the night for the sake of tahajjud (the late-night voluntary prayer). They rejoice in the nights of winter for the sake of tahajjud, the night prayer. Yes.
