What will assist in getting up at night?
Amongst the habits that will bolster the effort to get up at night and
observe the Night Vigil are:
To occupy the period between the sunset prayer [magrib] and
evening prayer [isha] with the supererogatory [nawafil] prayers,
reciting the Quran [tilawatil] and remembrances of Allah [zikr].
Ummi Salmah r.a and AbuHurayrah r.a. narrated that the Prophet s.a.w
said: “Whoever prays six raka`ats after the sunset [maghrib] prayer
(before the evening [`isha] prayers), he will be awarded an equivalent of
a year’s of worship or just as if he prayed during the night of Lailatul
Qadar.
Recorded by at-Tirmidzi and Ibn Majah
Aisha r.a. narrated that the Prophet s.a.w said: “The most value
prayer in Allah’s sight is the sunset [maghrib], that is why it is not
reduced for the traveler and believers. It [maghrib] opens the door for
the night prayers and closed the day prayers. Whoever prays maghrib
and prayer two raka`ats after it, Allah will build for him a castle in
heaven. From AbdulWalid Yunus bin Ubaidillah recorded as weak
[isnad dhaif]
