EXPLANATIONS:
According to the hadith narrated by 'Aishah, the Prophet Muhammad used to pray nine Rakahs at night. This is known as Salat al-Qiyam or the Night Prayer. It is a voluntary prayer that Muslims can perform in addition to their five daily prayers. It is recommended for Muslims to perform this prayer as it brings many rewards and blessings from Allah. Additionally, it helps one stay connected with Allah and remember Him throughout the day and night.

The Night Prayer consists of three sets of three Rakahs each with two prostrations in each set. After completing each set, one should recite a supplication known as Tasbih Fatimah which praises Allah and His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ . After completing all nine Rakahs, one should recite another supplication known as Du'a al-Qunut which asks for protection from evil and guidance on the right path.

This hadith teaches us about the importance of connecting with Allah through prayer even during times when we are tired or busy such as late at night when most people are asleep or resting. It also reminds us that we should always strive to do good deeds even if they seem small because they can bring great rewards from Allah in this life and in the hereafter if done sincerely for His sake alone.
