Riyad as-Salihin, 1223
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
When the last ten nights (of Ramadan) would begin, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would keep awake at night (for prayer and devotion), awaken his family and prepare himself to be more diligent in worship. <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل العشر أحيا الليل وأيقظ أهله، وشد المئزر" ((متفق عليه))

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Part of generosity which we give from our own self is to engage in worship for all night long during the last ten nights of Ramadan. This is generosity towards our Lord.<br>
2) A man should urge his family to participate in performing acts of worship. Some parents nowadays neglect this responsibility towards their families and households.<br>
