Al-Muzzammil (The Enshrouded One, Bundled Up)
Verse 2
Translation:
2. Stand (to pray) by night but not all night
Notes (Tafseer):
5755. The Prophet was prone to austerities in the cave of Hiraa, both before and after he received his mission, spending days and nights in prayer and contemplation. Midnight and after-midnight prayers have technically received the name of Tahajjud. See also verse 20 below; also xvii. 79.
