Today, I bring you insights from the hadith narrated by Zaid b Khalid al-Juhani رضي الله عنه, detailing the night prayer (Tahajjud) of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:
Zaid b Khalid al-Juhani رضي الله عنه said, "I would definitely watch at night the prayer observed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He prayed two short rak'ahs, then two long, long, long rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs which were shorter than the two preceding rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs which were shorter than the two preceding, then he prayed two rak'ahs which were shorter than the two preceding, then he prayed two rak'ahs which were shorter than the two preceding and then observed a single one (Witr), making a total of thirteen rak'ahs." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith Number 765)
Let's delve into the benefits derived from this hadith:
1. Eagerness to Learn: Zaid b Khalid al-Juhani's رضي الله عنه keenness to observe and understand the Prophet's ﷺ night prayer reflects his deep commitment to emulate the Prophet's exemplary worship. His meticulous attention to detail sets a profound example for us to learn and replicate the Prophet's ﷺ acts of devotion.
2. Commitment and Effort: The hadith underscores the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ dedication and effort in worship. By varying the length and number of rak'ahs in his night prayer, the Prophet ﷺ demonstrated a balanced approach to worship, combining intensity and duration in his supplications and prostrations.
