In is recorded in a narration of Musnad-e-Ahmad that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is reported to have said, “Hold firm onto Tahajjud Salaah for verily this has been the practice of the pious before you, and verily Tahjjud Salaah is a means of gaining close proximity to Allah Ta'aala, a means of expiation of sins and a means of preventing you from sins, and a means of removing illnesses from the body.”

Five great benefits of Tahajjud Salaah has been recorded in the above Hadith, the original Arabic text of which follows:

عن بلال رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : عليكم بقيام الليل فإنه دأب الصالحين قبلكم وإن قيام الليل قربة إلى الله وتكفير للسيئات ومنهاة عن الإثم ومطردة للداء عن الجسد رواه احمد

AND ALLAH TA’ALA ALONE IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST
