THE MERCY OF ALLAH FOR WHOSOEVER WAKES THEIR SPOUSE FOR THE VOLUNTARY NIGHT PRAYER

1206

“Allah will have mercy on a man who gets up at night for his voluntary prayer and awakens his wife for the same purpose and if she hesitates he sprinkles water over her face to arouse her.

Allah will also have mercy on a woman who gets up at night to offer the voluntary prayer and awakens her husband for the same purpose and if he hesitates sprinkles water over his face to arouse him.”

Abu Daud with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
