The Prophet (ﷺ) visited me and Fatimah (May Allah be pleased with her) one night and said, "Do you not observe prayer (at night)?" <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن علي رضي الله عنه، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، طرقه وفاطمة ليلا، فقال:
ألا تصليان؟

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) They point out the merit of Qiyām al-Layl and that a man should urge the members of his household to perform it.<br>
2) It is recommended to praise a good man if this would encourage him to perform more good deeds.<br>
3) The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would readily respond to the Prophet’s guidance. That is the attitude of believers: to hasten to obey the commands of Allah and His Prophet, for all goodness and success lie in obeying them.<br>
4) They warn us against being like the lazy people and urge us to be like those with vigor and resolve in doing good deeds.
