ibnhibban:2551bQiyām

[Machine] Regarding the Prophet's ﷺ night prayer, she (Aisha) asked him, "Don't you read this Surah: 'O you wrapped in garments'?". He replied, "Yes". She said, "Verily, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made the night prayer obligatory in the beginning of this Surah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions would stand in prayer (at night) for so long that their feet would become swollen. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, then withheld the last portion for twelve months in the heavens, before revealing it in the Quran. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed the lighter (ruling) at the end of this Surah. So the night prayer became voluntary after the obligatory prayer."  

ابن حبّان:٢٥٥١bفَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْبِئِينِي

عَنْ قِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ أَلَسْتَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ} ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَتْ «فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا افْتَرَضَ الْقِيَامَ فِي أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ فَقَامَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَوْلًا حَتَّى انْتَفَخَتْ أَقْدَامُهُمْ وَأَمْسَكَ اللَّهُ خَاتِمَتَهَا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا التَّخْفِيفَ فِي آخِرِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ فَصَارَ قِيَامُ اللَّيْلِ تَطَوُّعًا بَعْدَ فَرِيضَتِهِ»

[Machine] "Do you not read this Surah, O Muzammil?" I replied, "Yes." She said, "Verily, Allah prescribed the standing during the night in the beginning of this Surah." So the Prophet ﷺ and his companions stood until their feet became swollen. Then, Allah removed the obligation after twelve months, and revealed leniency in the end of this Surah. So, the standing during the night became voluntary after the obligatory prayer."

أَلَيْسَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ «اللهَ افْتَرَضَ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ فِي أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ فَقَامَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَوْلًا حَتَّى انْتَفَخَتْ أَقْدَامُهُمْ فَأَمْسَكَ اللهُ خَاتِمَتَهَا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ التَّخْفِيفَ فِي آخِرِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ فَصَارَ قِيَامُ اللَّيْلِ تَطَوُّعًا بَعْدَ فَرِيضَةٍ»

[Machine] During the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , she said, "Don't you recite this Surah, O Mu'ammil?" I said, "Yes." She said, "Verily, Allah enjoined the performance of the night prayer in the beginning of this Surah. So the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions stood in prayer all night until their feet swelled up. Then Allah held back the end of this Surah (i.e., revelation was stopped for a period of time) for twelve months. Then Allah revealed the leniency at the end of this Surah, so voluntary night prayers after the obligatory prayers are now optional."
