حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو حَبِيبٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي الْقُبِّيَّ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ الْأَعْمَى، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ قِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ:
كَانَ قِيَامُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَرِيضَةً حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلا قَلِيلا، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ فَرِيضَةٍ، فَكَانُوا يَقُومُونَ حَتَّى تَتَفَطَّرَ أَقْدَامُهُمْ، وَحَبَسَ اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - آخِرَ السُّورَةِ عَنْهُمْ حَوْلًا، ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَنْ تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَصَارَ قِيَامُ اللَّيْلِ تَطَوُّعًا

✧ The night prayer of the Messenger of God ﷺ was obligatory when God, Mighty and Majestic, revealed: "O you wrapped in garments, arise to pray the night, except a little" [Qur'an 73:1–2]. It was the first obligation, and they used to pray until their feet became cracked. God, Mighty and Majestic, withheld the end of the surah from them for a year, then He revealed: "He knows that you will not be able to keep count of it, so He has turned to you in mercy; recite, then, what is easy of the Qur'an" [Qur'an 73:20]. Thus the night prayer became voluntary.
