Al-Hasan al-Basri (rahimahullah) said:
‘By Allah, I have accompanied a people who spent these dark nights prostrating and standing up in prayer to their Lord. Their tears would flow down their cheeks, one time they’d be bowing and another time they are in prostration. They beseech and implore their Lord to free their necks (from the Hellfire) and the long night did not bore them because of the hope in their hearts for the Day of Return. May Allah have mercy upon a person who competes with them in these deeds and who is not content with falling short .. truly the world has cut off its inhabitants and the deeds of a people are only returned to them.’
(Mukhtasar Qiyam al-Layl, al-Marwazi)
