Hadith on Tahajjud: Listening to the Prophet’s night prayer

Rabi’ah ibn Ka’b reported: I stayed the night by the door of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to give him water for ablution. I heard him saying throughout the night, “Allah hears those who praise Him,” and I heard him saying, “Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”

عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ عِنْدَ بَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُعْطِيهِ وَضُوءَهُ فَأَسْمَعُهُ الْهَوِيَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ وَأَسْمَعُهُ الْهَوِيَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
