The Shaykh : This is established in the Sunnah regarding the night prayer.

The Shaykh : This is a specification without a specifier; it is also a type of innovation in the religion... In fact, specifying this standing in the night prayer in Ramadan is a religious innovation... Some people... as if they want to bring something new!
