Translation: Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night,- 5755
Commentary:
5755 The Prophet was prone to austerities in the cave of Hira ', both before and
after he received his mission, spending days and nights in prayer and
contemplation. See C. 29. Midnight and after-midnight prayers have technically
received the name of Tahajjud. See also verse 20 below; also 17:79. (R).
