Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to prolong the recitation of the Quran in the two rak'ahs after the sunset prayer until the people praying in the mosque dispersed. Abu Dawud said: This has been reported by Nasr al-Mujaddir from Ya'qub al-Qummi with the same chain of narrators. Abu Dawud said: Muhammad bin 'Isa bin al-tabba' transmitted from Nasr al-Mujaddir from Ya'qub in like manner.

She said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم never offered the night prayer and thereafter came to me but he offered four or six rak'ahs of prayer. One night the rain fell, so we spread a piece of leather (for his prayer), and now I see as if there is a hole in it from which the water is flowing. I never saw him protecting his clothes from the earth (as he did on that occasion).
Read More..Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: In Surat al-Muzzammil (73), the verse: Keep vigil at night but a little, a half thereof (2-3) has been abrogated by the following verse: He knoweth that ye count it not, and turneth unto you in mercy. Recite then of the Quran that which is easy for you (v. 20). The phrase the vigil of the night (nashi'at al-layl) means the early hours of the night. They (the companions) would pray (the tahajjud prayer) in the early hours of the night. He (Ibn Abbas) says: It is advisable to offer the prayer at night (tahajjud), prescribed by Allah for you (in the early hours of the night). This is because when a person sleeps, he does not know when he will awake. The words speech more certain (aqwamu qilan) means that this time is more suitable for the understanding of the Quran. He says: The verse: Lo, thou hast by day a chain of business (v. 7) means engagement for long periods (in the day's work).

So if one awakes and mentions Allah, a knot will be loosened; if he performs ablution another knot will be loosened; and if he prays, the third knot will be loosened; and in the morning he will be active and in good spirits; otherwise he will be in bad spirits and sluggish.
