the special mercy

  • 1 To have the special mercy of the man who gets up during the night and performs prayer and awakens his wife to pray

    Abu Hurairah ( May Allah be pleased with him ) reported:

    The Messenger of Allah ( may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) said, "May Allah show mercy to a man who gets up during the night and performs Salat, awakens his wife to pray and if she refuses, he sprinkles water on her face (to make her get up). May Allah show mercy to a woman who gets up during the night and performs Salat, awakens her husband for the same purpose; and if he refuses, she sprinkles water on his face."
