What is better after finishing the night prayer with the imam: praying or reciting the Qur'an?

Question : The questioner says: After the night prayer at the end of the night, is it better to complete the rest of the night with prayer or with reciting the Qur'an?

Answer : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked by his Companions to complete the night with them in prayer, so he said: Whoever prays with the imam until he finishes is written as having prayed the night. So if you follow the imam in the entire prayer until he finishes, meaning you complete his prayer, you are written as having prayed the night, and so is he. Then, if you are free to recite the Book after that, that is better.
