Question:
What is the authenticity of the hadith
Hold fast to Qiyam al-Lail, for it is the practice of the righteous before youعليكم بقيام الليل فإنه دأب الصالحين قبلكم
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3549Da’if (Darussalam)
and a driving away of illness from the body?

Answer:
Yes, this is narrated, and Allah knows best whether it is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or it is from the words of some of the Salaf, and its meaning is correct; because standing in night prayer was the habit of the righteous before us, and it drives away illness from the body. It is known that the one who habituates himself to standing in night prayer will have better health than the lazy one who sleeps all night or part of the night. Allah grants him strength in his body and strength in his understanding, hearing, and sight, without doubt. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
