The Importance of Fasting, Morning Prayer and Witr Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of fasting, praying in the morning, and performing Witr prayer before sleeping.

Abu Murra, the freed slave of Umm Hani, narrated on the authority of Abu Darda': My Friend instructed me in three (acts), and I would never abandon them as long as I live. (And these three things are): Three fasts during every month, the forenoon prayer, and this that I should not sleep till I have observed the Witr prayer.
وَحَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَّةَ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ هَانِئٍ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ أَوْصَانِي حَبِيبِي بِثَلاَثٍ لَنْ أَدَعَهُنَّ مَا عِشْتُ بِصِيَامِ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَصَلاَةِ الضُّحَى وَبِأَنْ لاَ أَنَامَ حَتَّى أُوتِرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes on three important acts that one should practice as long as they live. These three acts are fasting during every month, praying in the morning and performing witr prayer before sleeping. Fasting is a form of worship that helps us to stay away from sins and bad deeds. Praying in the morning helps us to start our day with a positive attitude by remembering Allah SWT and seeking His guidance for our daily activities. Lastly, witr prayer is an additional voluntary prayer which can be performed at any time but it is recommended to perform it just before going to sleep so that we can end our day with gratitude towards Allah SWT for all His blessings upon us throughout the day. Therefore this hadith encourages us to practice these three acts regularly so that we can lead a life full of piety and righteousness according to Islamic teachings.
