Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, this questioner also asks: Who are those about whom Allah the Exalted said:
They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
[As-Sajdah 32:16]


Answer:
This is a description of those who stand in prayer at night, who pray at night
They arise from [their] bedsتَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ
[As-Sajdah 32:16]
despite their need for sleep and the fatigue in them from the effects of daytime work, and yet they stand and pray the tahajjud prayer. This is the meaning of Allah’s saying:
They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
[As-Sajdah 32:16]
Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you and reward you.
