Hadith 88
night-prayerasceticism
88 - وَبِهذَا الإِسنادِ قالَ: قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُعَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: ضَعُفتُ عَنِ الصَّلاةِ وَالجِماعِ فَنَزَلَت عَلَيَّ قِدرٌ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَأكَلتُ مِنْها فَزادُ فِي قُوَّتِي قُوَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلاً فِي البَطشِ وَالجِماعِ وَهُوَ الهَريسُ.
31-88 According to the same documentation, God’s Prophet (S) said, “I became too weak to say night prayers and make love. Then a pot of food came down from the heavens from which I ate and regained the strength equal to that of forty men in fighting and intercourse. The food was a form of porridge.”
