The Holy Quran 32:16 — Surah As-Sajdah

Arabic text

تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ

Translation

(These people are such that) Their sides part from their beds (they wake up for Tahajjud salaah), they make du'aa to their Rabb in fear (for His punishment) and (having) hope (in His mercy), and they spend (in charity) from what We have provided for them.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Praise of those who pray tahajjud: that is, leaving sweet sleep and soft beds, they stand before Allah. What is meant is the tahajjud prayer (the voluntary night prayer), as is mentioned in an authentic hadith. Some, however, have taken it to mean the dawn prayer or the Isha (night) prayer, or the voluntary prayers between Maghrib (sunset prayer) and Isha.
