موطأ مالك

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ أَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ يَقُولُ لَهُمُ الصَّلاَةَ الصَّلاَةَ ثُمَّ يَتْلُو هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لاَ نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَى}


Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from hisfather that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to pray as much as Allah willedin the night until at the end of the night he would wake his familyfor the prayer. He used to say to them, "The prayer, the prayer." Thenhe would recite the ayat, "Enjoin prayer on your family and beconstant in it. We do not ask you for your provision. We provide foryou. And the end result is for taqwa." (Sura 20 ayat 132)
