Hadith of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (RA)
حديث أبي ذر الغفاري رضي الله عنه
Hadith 937:265
Muhammad ibn Ja‘far narrated to us, ‘Awf narrated to us, from Muhajir Abu Khalid, Abu al-‘Aliyah narrated to me, Abu Muslim narrated to me, he said: I said to Abu Dharr: Which standing of the night is best? Abu Dharr said: I asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, just as you asked me—‘Awf was uncertain—so he said: "The middle of the latter part of the night, or half of the night, and few are those who do it."
حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا عوف، عن مهاجر أبي خالد، حدثني أبو العالية، حدثني أبو مسلم، قال: قلت لأبي ذر: أي قيام الليل أفضل؟ قال أبو ذر: سألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كما سألتني، شك عوف، فقال: "جوف الليل الغابر، أو نصف الليل، وقليل فاعله "
