Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet got upat night to offer the
Tahajjud prayer, he used to say: Allahumma lakal-hamd. Anta
qaiyimus-samawati wal-ard wa man fihinna. Walakal-hamd, Laka
mulkus-samawati wal-ard wa man fihinna. Walakal-hamd, anta
nurus-samawati wal-ard. Walakalhamd, anta-l-haqwa wa'duka-l-haq, wa
liqa'uka Haq, wa qualukaHaq, wal-jannatu Han wan-naru Haq wannabiyuna
Haq. Wa Muhammadun, sallal-lahu'alaihi wasallam, Haq, was-sa'atu Haq.
Allahumma aslamtu Laka wabika amantu, wa 'Alaika tawakkaltu, wa ilaika
anabtu wa bika khasamtu, wa ilaika hakamtu faghfir li ma qaddamtu wama
akh-khartu wama as-rartu wama'a lantu, anta-l-muqaddim wa anta-l-mu
akh-khir, la ilaha illa anta (or la ilaha ghairuka). (O Allah! All the
praises are for you, You are the Holder of the Heavens and the Earth,
And whatever is in them. All the praises are for You; You have the
possession of the Heavens and the Earth And whatever is in them. All
the praises are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the
Earth And all the praises are for You; You are the King of the Heavens
and the Earth; And all the praises are for You; You are the Truth and
Your Promise is the truth, And to meet You is true, Your Word is the
truth And Paradise is true And Hell is true And all the Prophets
(Peace be upon them) are true; And Muhammad is true, And the Day of
Resurrection istrue. O Allah ! I surrender (my will) to You; I
believein You and depend on You. And repent to You, And with Your help
I argue (with my opponents, the non-believers) And I take You as a
judge (to judge between us). Please forgive me my previous And future
sins; And whatever I concealed or revealed And You are the One who
make (some people) forward And (some) backward. There is none to be
worshippedbut you . Sufyan said that'Abdul Karim Abu Umaiya added to
the above, 'Wala haula Wala quwatailla billah' (There is neither might
nor power except with Allah).

Narrated Salim's father: In the life-time of the Prophet whosoever saw
a dream would narrate it to Allah's Apostle. I had a wish of seeing a
dream to narrate it to Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) I was a grown up boy
and used to sleep in the Mosque in the life-time of the Prophet. I saw
in the dream that two angels caught hold of me and took me to the Fire
which was built all roundlike a built well and had two poles in it and
the people in it were known to me. I started saying, "I seek refuge
with Allah from the Fire." Then I metanother angel who told me not to
be afraid. I narrated the dream to Hafsa who told it to Allah's
Apostle. The Prophet said, "Abdullah isa good man. I wish he prayed
Tahajjud." After that 'Abdullah (i.e. Salim'sfather) used to sleep but
a little at night.
223
Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle used to offer eleven Rakat and that
was his prayer. He used to prolong the prostration to such an extent
that one could recite fifty verses (of the Quran) before he would lift
his head. He used to pray two Rakat (Sunna) before the Fajr prayer and
then used to lie down on his right side tillthe call-maker came and
informed him about the prayer.
224
Narrated Jundab: The Prophet became sick and did not get up (for
Tahajjud prayer) for a night or two.
225
Narrated Jundab bin'Abdullah : Gabriel did not come to the Prophet
(for some time) and so one of the Quraish women said, "His Satan has
deserted him." So came the Divine Revelation: "By the forenoon And by
the night When it is still! YourLord (O Muhammad) has neither Forsaken
you Norhated you." (93.1-3)
226
Narrated Um Salama:One night the Prophet got up and said,
"SubhanAllah! How many afflictions Allah has revealed tonight and how
many treasures have been sent down (disclosed). Go and wake the
sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings up (for prayers), perhaps a
well-dressed in this world may be naked in the Hereafter."
227
Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib One night Allah's Apostle came to me and
Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet and asked,"Won't you pray (at
night)?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Our souls are in the hands of
Allah and if He wants us to get up He will make us get up." When I
said that, he left us without saying anything and I heard that he was
hitting his thigh and saying, "But man is more quarrelsomethan
anything." (18.54)
228
Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle used to give up a good deed, although
he loved to do it, for fear that people might act on it and it might
be made compulsory for them. TheProphet never prayed the Duha prayer,
but I offer it.
229
Narrated 'Aisha, the mother of the faithful believers: One night
Allah's Apostle offered the prayer in the Mosque and the people
followed him. The next night he also offered the prayer and too many
people gathered. On the third and the fourth nights more people
gathered, but Allah's Apostle did not come out to them. In the morning
he said, "I saw what you were doing and nothing but the fear that it
(i.e. the prayer) might be enjoined on you, stopped me from comingto
you." And that happened in the month of Ramadan.
230
Narrated Al-Mughira:The Prophet used to stand (in the prayer) or pray
till both his feet or legs swelled. He was asked why (he offered such
an unbearable prayer) and he said,"should I not be a thankful slave."/
