“Why donʿt you get up and pray?ʿ I [‘Ali] said: O Messenger of Allah, indeed our souls are in the hand of Allah; if He wants to wake us up He will wake us up. He left when I said that and did not say anything back to me. Then I heard him say, whilst he was turning away and striking his thigh: “But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anythingʿ [Al-Kahf 18:54]. ʿAli bin Husain ؓ narrated that his father, Husain bin ʿAli ؓ told him that ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ told him that The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him and Fatimah at night... and he mentioned a similar report.
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ طَرَقَهُ وَفَاطِمَةَ ابْنَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فَقَالَ أَلا تُصَلِّيَانِ؟ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا بِيَدِ اللهِ فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنَا بَعَثَنَا فَانْصَرَفَ حِينَ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَيَّشَيْئًا ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ وَهُوَ مُوَلٍّ يَضْرِبُ فَخِذَهُ يَقُولُ {وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا}
