فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْبِئِينِي
عَنْ قِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ أَلَسْتَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ {يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ} ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَتْ «فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا افْتَرَضَ الْقِيَامَ فِي أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ فَقَامَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ حَوْلًا حَتَّى انْتَفَخَتْ أَقْدَامُهُمْ وَأَمْسَكَ اللَّهُ خَاتِمَتَهَا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا التَّخْفِيفَ فِي آخِرِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ فَصَارَ قِيَامُ اللَّيْلِ تَطَوُّعًا بَعْدَ فَرِيضَتِهِ»

- Qiyām
✧ About the night prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, she said: “Do you not recite this surah: {O you wrapped in garments}?” I said: “Yes.” She said: “Indeed Allah, Mighty and Exalted, made the night prayer obligatory in the beginning of this surah, so the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and his companions stood for a year until their feet swelled. Then Allah, Mighty and Exalted, withheld its conclusion for twelve months in the heaven, then Allah, Mighty and Exalted, sent down the alleviation at the end of this surah, so the night prayer became voluntary after it had been obligatory.”
