بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْثًا فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهِمْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي الشَّهَادَةَ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا ثُمَّ بَعَثَ جَيْشًا آخَرَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهِمْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي الشَّهَادَةَ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَيْتُكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَقُلْتُ «اللهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ» فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأْمُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ وَلَا عِدْلَ لَهُ» قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ «قَدْ رُزِقَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ خَيْرًا»  

[Machine] Abu Idrees Al-Khawlaney mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ initiated a battle.  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنْشَأَ غَزْوَةً» فَذَكَرَهُ أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "You should observe the night prayer, for it was the practice of the righteous before you. It brings you closer to your Lord, expiates your sins, and prevents you from committing evil."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِقِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنَّهُ دَأْبُ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ وَهُوَ قُرْبَةٌ لَكُمْ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَمَكْفَرَةٌ لِلسَّيِّئَاتِ وَمَنْهَاةٌ عَنِ الْإِثْمِ»
