The questioner : Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) keep the nights of the two festivals awake by standing in prayer or reciting the Qur'an? And is there a hadith encouraging standing in prayer on these two nights?
The Shaykh : There are weak hadiths regarding the virtue of keeping these two nights awake. As for the practice of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he did not do this. He did not keep the night awake, and he did not stand in prayer for the entire night except on the last ten nights of Ramadan, hoping for the Night of Decree. Indeed, when the ten nights entered, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would keep the entire night awake. Yes.
