Hadith 171

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from Al Husayn Bin Ali Bin Fazzal, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from Ali Bin Abdul Aziz who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Shall I inform you with the root of Al Islam and its branch, and its apex and its hump? ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws! ’
He-asws said: ‘It’s root is the Salat, and its branch is the Zakat, and its apex and its hump is the Jihad in the Way of Allah-azwj. Shall I-asws inform you with the doors of goodness? The fasting is a shield, and the charity drops off the sins, and the man standing in the middle of the night whispering to his Lord-azwj’. Then he-asws recited: Their sides forsake their beds, supplicating to their Lord in fear and in hope, and they are spending from what We Graced them [32: 16]’’. [275]
(The book) ‘Da’aim Al Islam’ –
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘Abu Zarr-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy upon him-ra, paused by the door of the Kaaba and preached to the people, then said, ‘Perform Hajj for the mighty matters, and fast a day for rebuking at the Resurrection, and pray two Cycles in darkness of the night for loneliness of the graves’ – up to end of the report’’. [276]
(The book) ‘Tanbeeh Al Khatir’, and ‘Irshad Al Quloub’ –
‘The night Salat will be a lamp for its performer in darkness of the grave’’. [277]
And it is reported from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The night Salat is satisfies the Lord-azwj, and love of the Angels, and Sunnah of the Prophets-as, and Noor of the recognition, and root of the Eman, and comfort of the bodies, and abhorrence of Satan-la, and a weapon against the enemies, and responder for the supplication, and acceptance of the deeds, and Blessings in the sustenance, and intercedes between its performer and the Angel of death, and a lamp in his grave, and a bed beneath his side, and an answer with Munkar and Nakeer, and a comforter, and a visitor in his grave up to the Day of Qiyamah. When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the Salat would be a shade above him, and a crown upon his head, and an apparel upon his body, and a light sprinting in front of him, and a veil (barrier) between him and the Fire, and an argument for the Momin in front of Allah-azwj the Exalted, and weight in the Scale, and a permit upon the Bridge, and a key for the Paradise. (This is) because the Salat is (exclamation of) Greatness, and praise, and glorification, and exaltation, and sanctification, and magnification, and recitation, and supplication; and the best of deeds, all of them, is praying the Salat at its timing’’. [278]
(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ –
‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The night Salat satisfies the Lord-azwj’ – up to end of the Hadeeth’’. [279]
(The book) ‘Rowzat Al Waizeen’ –
‘Al-Reza-asws said: ‘Upon you all is with praying the night Salat. There is none from a servant standing at end of the night, so he prays eight Cycles, and two Cycles of Al-Shaf’a, and a Cycles of Al-Witr, and seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj in his Qunout seventy times, except he will be sheltered from punishment of the grave, and from punishment of the Fire, and there will be an extension for him in his lifespan, and there will be expansion for him in his livelihood’. Then he-asws said: ‘The houses which he prays in at night, it’s light will sparkle for people of the sky just as light of the stars sparkles for people of the earth’. And Al-Sadiq-asws was asked by Abdullah Bin Sinan about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Their marks are in their faces from the effects of the Sajdahs [48: 29]. He-asws said: ‘It is staying up late in the Salat’. And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘He isn’t from our Shias, one does not pray the night Salat’’. [280]
(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’ – He-asws said: ‘Upon you is with praying Salat during the night, for Rasool-Allah-saww had bequeathed Ali-asws with it. He-saww said in his-saww bequest: ‘Upon you-asws is with praying the night Salat’, saying it thrice, and the night Salat increases in the sustenance, and glory of the face, and improves the manners’’.
