Question:
The saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 3738, 3739 Does this not indicate that standing in night prayer is a condition for justice?
Answer:
No, it is not a condition, but rather praise, further praise. Otherwise, it is voluntary, a nafilah, not an obligation. However, it indicates that the people of the night are praised for this and commended, just as Allah has commended them. This style contains encouragement and exhortation.
