The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, was told: “So and so

The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “Allah grants His mercy to a
man who gets up in the night to pray, then wakes up his wife to pray also,
sprinkling water on her face if she is unwilling.” He also said: “Allah grants his

also, sprinkling water on his face if he is unwilling.” Further: “If a man wakes up at
night and rouses his wife, and they both perform two cycles of prayer, they are
recorded among the men and women who remember Allah very often.”
