Sahih Muslim 1163b (Book 13, Hadith 262) #9901
Excellence of Prayers and Fasts

SUMMARY: The most excellent prayer after the prescribed prayer is the one offered in the middle of the night and the most excellent fast after Ramadan is fasting in God's month al-Muharram.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) was asked as to which prayer was most excellent after the prescribed prayer, and which fast was most excellent after the month of Ramadan. He said: Prayer offered in the middle of the night and the most excellent fast after (fasting) in the month of Ramadan is the fast in God's month al-Muharram.
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ، الْمُنْتَشِرِ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، - رضى الله عنه - يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَىُّ الصَّلاَةِ أَفْضَلُ بَعْدَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ وَأَىُّ الصِّيَامِ أَفْضَلُ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَفْضَلُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ الصَّلاَةُ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَأَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ بَعْدَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ صِيَامُ شَهْرِ اللَّهِ الْمُحَرَّمِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that there are two types of prayers and fasts that are considered to be more excellent than others. The first is a prayer offered in the middle of the night, which is known as Qiyam al Layl. This type of prayer has many benefits, such as being closer to Allah, gaining spiritual rewards, and having a peaceful sleep afterwards. The second type mentioned is fasting during God’s month al Muharram. This type has many benefits too, such as gaining forgiveness from sins committed throughout life and being rewarded for it by Allah on Judgment Day. Both these types have been recommended by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for us to practice regularly so that we can gain maximum benefit from them both spiritually and physically.
