Riyad as-Salihin, 1184
Abu Sa'id and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a man awakens his wife during the night and they both perform two Rak'ah Salat together, they are recorded among the men and women who celebrate remembrance of Allah." <b>[Abu Dawud]</b>.
وعنه وعن أبي سعيد رضي الله عنهما، قالا: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
إذا أيقظ الرجل أهله من الليل فصليا أو صلى ركعتين جميعًا كتب في الذاكرين والذاكرات
((رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) Mercy descends upon husband and wife who cooperate in worship and obedience to Allah Almighty. They do not wake up and leave sleep, which is dear to everyone’s heart, except for the sake of something dearer, and that is private communication with the Almighty Lord.<br>
2) It is legitimate to urge one another to observe Qiyām al-Layl. Thus, we get active in the performance of worship.<br>
3) The houses where Allah Almighty is worshiped and obeyed are blessed and blissful. So, do we now know the path to family happiness?
