I am a student of knowledge who desires to stand in night prayer, but this conflicts with sitting in the mosque after Fajr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A questioner says, "O honorable Shaykh, I am a student of knowledge who desires to stand in night prayer. But this conflicts with sitting in the mosque after Fajr. So, what is better for me: to stand in night prayer and sleep after the Fajr prayer until study time, or to sit after Fajr to read the Qur'an and memorize it? May Allah reward you with good."

The Shaykh : It is better for you to stand in night prayer, to stand in night prayer, because prayer in its general category is better than dhikr. And night prayer is the best of prayers after the obligatory ones. This is confirmed from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
That the best of prayers is night prayer, other than the obligatory prayer أن أفضل الصلوات صلاة الليل من غير الفريضة
. So I advise you to stand in night prayer. As for sitting after the Fajr prayer, there is no doubt that it is encouraged. But it does not equal night prayer.
