Stand guard at night .

This hadith speaks about the virtue of guarding for Allah. It was narrated by Abdullah bin az-Zubair that Uthman bin Affan said, from his minbar, that he heard Prophet Muhammad say that standing guard for one night in the name of Allah is better than a thousand nights spent in prayer and fasting. This hadith teaches us to prioritize our deeds according to their value; it encourages us to do more acts which are more rewarding such as guarding or protecting something or someone instead of just praying and fasting all day long. It also teaches us to be mindful when we are doing any act, whether it is big or small, because every deed counts if done with sincerity and faithfulness towards God.
