Thu 23 Ramadan 1444AH 13-4-2023AD at 6:22 pm #89787
Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan حفظه الله said,
“‘Aa’ishah radiAllahu anha has described our Prophet and role model, Muhammad sallallaahu alayhi wasallam, with four Attributes in the Hadith about the last ten days of Ramadaan.
1. He sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would “spend his night in worship”, meaning he would not sleep during it. Thus, he sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would remain awake throughout it in worship and he would liven his soul by spending the night in sleeplessness. This is since sleep is the brother of death. The meaning of “spend his night” is that he sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would spend all of it in the state of qiyaam (night prayer) and performing acts of worship that are done for the sake of Allaah, Lord of the worlds. We must remember that the last ten days of Ramadaan are fixed and numbered.
As for what has been reported concerning the forbiddance of spending the entire night in prayer, which has been mentioned in the hadeeth of ‘Abdullaah Ibn ‘Amr radiAllahu anhu, then it is in regards to someone who does that consistently throughout every night of the year.
2. He sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would “wake up his family” meaning his sallallaahu alayhi wasallam pure wives, the mothers of the Believers, so that they may take part in the profiting of good, the dhikr (remembrance) and the acts of worship during these blessed times.
3. He sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would “exert himself”, meaning he sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would persevere and struggle in worship, adding more to his deeds than what he had done in the first twenty days (of Ramadaan). He only did this because the night of Al-Qadr occurs during one of these (last ten) days.
4. He sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would ‘tighten his Izaar (waistcloth)’ meaning he would exert himself and struggle intensely in worship. It is also said that it means he sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would withdraw from women. This seems to be more correct since it inclines with what was mentioned previously and with the hadeeth of Anas radiAllahu anhu, ‘He sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would rollup his bed and withdraw from women (i.e. his wives).’ [See Lataa’if-ul-Ma’aarif: pg. 219]
Also, he sallallaahu alayhi wasallam would observe ‘Itikaaf in the last ten days of Ramadaan and the person who is in the state of ‘Itikaaf is restricted from interacting (sexually) with women.”
[Ahaadeeth As-Siyaam pg. 133-135]
