Hadith.1391 - Abu Ubaydah al-Haddha’ reported from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding the verse of Allah (swt), the Exalted, "Their sides forsake their beds" (Surah As-Sajdah 32:16). Abu Ja’far (as) said
"Perhaps you think that these people did not sleep?" I replied: "Allah (swt) and His Messenger know best." Imam (as) said: "This body must be allowed rest so that the soul can depart and the body can rejuvenate. When the soul returns, it restores the body's strength for action. This verse refers to those who rest their bodies but then rise in devotion, praying to their Lord (azj) out of fear and hope. This was revealed concerning The Commander of the Faithful (as) and his followers among our Shia. They sleep in the early part of the night, then when two-thirds of the night have passed or as much as Allah (swt) wills, they hasten to their Lord (azj), desiring Him, fearing Him, and hoping for what He has. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, mentioned them in His Book to His Prophet (sw) and informed them of what He had granted them—settling them near Him, entering them into His Paradise, granting them security from fear, and calming their dread." I said: "May I be your ransom, if I rise during the last part of the night, what should I say?" Imam (as) said: "Say, 'All praise is due to Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the worlds, the God of the Messengers. All praise is due to Allah (swt), who gives life to the dead and resurrects those in the graves.' When you say this, the evil whisperings of Shaytan will depart from you, if Allah (swt) wills."
1391 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ اَلْحَذَّاءُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «تَتَجٰافىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ اَلْمَضٰاجِعِ » فَقَالَ
«لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّ اَلْقَوْمَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَنَامُونَ» فَقُلْتُ اَللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ «لاَ بُدَّ لِهَذَا اَلْبَدَنِ أَنْ تُرِيحَهُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ نَفْسُهُ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ اَلنَّفْسُ اِسْتَرَاحَ اَلْبَدَنُ وَ رَجَعَتِ اَلرُّوحُ فِيهِ وَ فِيهِ قُوَّةٌ عَلَى اَلْعَمَلِ فَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرَهُمْ فَقَالَ: «تَتَجٰافىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ اَلْمَضٰاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً» أُنْزِلَتْ فِي أَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَتْبَاعِهِ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا يَنَامُونَ فِي أَوَّلِ اَللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ ثُلُثَا اَللَّيْلِ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اَللَّهُ فَزِعُوا إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ رَاغِبِينَ رَاهِبِينَ طَامِعِينَ فِيمَا عِنْدَهُ فَذَكَرَهُمُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ لِنَبِيِّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِمَا أَعْطَاهُمْ وَ أَنَّهُ أَسْكَنَهُمْ فِي جِوَارِهِ وَ أَدْخَلَهُمْ جَنَّتَهُ وَ آمَنَ خَوْفَهُمْ وَ آمَنَ رَوْعَتَهُمْ» قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنْ أَنَا قُمْتُ فِي آخِرِ اَللَّيْلِ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ أَقُولُ إِذَا قُمْتُ فَقَالَ «قُلِ «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ اَلْعٰالَمِينَ» وَ إِلَهِ اَلْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي «يُحْيِ اَلْمَوْتىٰ» وَ «يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي اَلْقُبُورِ» فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَهَا ذَهَبَ عَنْكَ رِجْزُ اَلشَّيْطَانِ وَ وَسْوَاسُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
