The Meaning of "and a portion of the night journey" in the Hadith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):?
Answer:
It is a comparison of his activity to the night journey (dulgah) that a traveler makes. A traveler may set out in the early part of the night or in the late part of the night. He may sleep in the early part of the night and rise in the late part of the night, seeking the time of his greatest energy.
So the meaning is: The worker takes on his tasks during his times of energy, just as the traveler takes on his journey during his times of energy.
