Awf ibn Malik reported: I stood with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to pray at night. The Prophet began to recite Surat al-Baqarah and he would not pass by a verse of mercy but that he would ask for it, nor did he pass by a verse of punishment but that he sought refuge from it. Then, the Prophet bowed for as long as he stood, saying in his bowings, “Glory to Him with Power, Dominion, Grandeur, and Majesty.” The Prophet prostrated for as long as he stood, saying the same in his prostrations. Then, the Prophet began to recite Surat Ali ‘Imran and then he recited another chapter and another.
