20. Night and Voluntary Prayers
٢٠۔ كتاب قيام الليل وتطوع النهار
"Whoever goes to his bed intending to get up and pray qiyam at night, then sleep overwhelms him until morning, will have recorded that which he intended and his sleep is a charity given to him by his Lord, the Mighty and Sublime."
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَتَى فِرَاشَهُ وَهُوَ يَنْوِي أَنْ يَقُومَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ كُتِبَ لَهُ مَا نَوَى وَكَانَ نَوْمُهُ صَدَقَةً عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ خَالَفَهُ سُفْيَانُ
"I heard Suwaid bin Ghaflah (narrate it) from Abu Dharr and Abu Ad-Darda.'"
