" عَلَيْكُمْ بِقِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ، فَإِنَّهُ دَأَبُ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ، وَهُوَ قُرْبَةٌ لَكُمْ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ، وَمَكْفَرَةٌ لِلسَّيِّئَاتِ مَنْهَاةٌ عَنِ الْإِثْمِ

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
هو حديث منكر لم يروه غير معاوية وأظنه من حديث محمد بن سعيد الشامي الأزدي فإنه يروي هذا الحديث هو بإسناد آخر
machine translationThis is a rejected (munkar) hadith, narrated by no one other than Muʿāwiyah. I think it is from the hadith of Muḥammad b. Saʿīd al-Shāmī al-Azdī, for he narrates this hadith with another chain of transmission.
