Riyad as-Salihin 1174 (Book 8, Hadith 184) #37663
Patience in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught us to be patient and not give up on our prayers, even if it takes a long time.

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: One night I joined the Prophet in his (optional) Salat. He prolonged the Qiyam (standing) so much that I made up my mind to commit an act of wrong. He was questioned: "What did you intend to do?" He replied: "I intended to sit down and stop following him (in Salat)". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ صليت مع النبي ، ليلة، فلم يزل قائمًا حتى هممت بأمر سوء‏.‏ قيل‏:‏ ما هممت‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ هممت أن أجلس وأدعه‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
