كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ شَيْئاً حَتَّى يَنْتَصِفَ اللَّيْلُ‌[2].

Hadith.1375 - Ubayd ibn Zurarah narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "The Messenger of Allah (sw), after performing the Isha prayer, would retire to his bed and would not perform any additional prayer until midnight."

إِنِّي لَأَمْقُتُ الرَّجُلَ يَأْتِينِي فَيَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ عَمَلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَيَقُولُ أَزِيدُ كَأَنَّهُ يَرَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَصَّرَ فِي شَيْ‌ءٍ وَ إِنِّي لَأَمْقُتُ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ‌[3] ثُمَّ يَسْتَيْقِظُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَا يَقُومُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الصُّبْحِ قَامَ يُبَادِرُهُ بِصَلَاتِهِ.

"I despise a man who comes to me asking about the actions of the Messenger of Allah (sw) and then says, 'Should I add more?' as if he sees that the Messenger of Allah (sw) was lacking in something. And I despise a man who has read the Qur'an and then wakes up during the night but does not rise (for prayer) until, when

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ قَالَ بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيَا وَ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانِي بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنِي‌ وَ إِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ.

Hadith.1387 - When the Messenger of Allah (sw) would go to his bed, he would say: Bismika Allahumma ahya wa bismika amoot "In Your name, O’ Allah (swt), I live, and in Your name, I die." And when he would wake up, he would say: Alhamdulillahi alladhi ahyayani ba‘da ma amatani wa ilayhi an-nushoor "All praise is due to

إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ‌[1] فَلْيَقُلْ- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ إِلَهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ رَبِّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي‌ يُحْيِ الْمَوْتى‌ وَ هُوَ عَلى‌ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ قَدِيرٌ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى صَدَقَ عَبْدِي وَ شَكَرَ.
