Riyad as-Salihin 1748 (Book 17, Hadith 238) #38237
Rewarding Late Night Prayers

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that those who wait for the night prayer and offer it at midnight will be rewarded as if they were praying throughout the period.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Once the Prophet delayed the 'Isha' (night) prayer till midnight. He turned to us after the prayer and said, "All the people slept after offering their prayers, but you who waited, will be accounted as if you were engaged in your prayer throughout the period". Al- Bukhari.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه أنهم انتظروا النبي ، فجاءهم قريبًا من شطر الليل فصلى بهم، يعني العشاء، قال‏:‏ ثم خطبنا فقال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ألا إن الناس قد صلوا‏.‏ ثم رقدوا، وإنكم لن تزالوا في صلاة ما انتظرتم الصلاة‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that those who wait to pray late at night will be rewarded as if they prayed throughout the period. He ﷺ was encouraging us to stay up and pray even when we are tired or sleepy. He ﷺ also wanted us to understand that Allah rewards our efforts no matter how small or big they may seem. We should always strive to do our best in whatever we do and trust in Allah's mercy and reward for our efforts.
