Excellence of Standing in Prayer at Night

باب فضل قيام الليل‏:‏

Riyad as-Salihin 1183
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ ‏ ‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
"‏رحم الله رجلا قام من الليل، فصلى وأيقظ امرأته، فإن أبت نضح في وجهها الماء، ورحم الله امرأة قامت من الليل فصلت، وأيقظت زوجها فإن أبي نضحت في وجهه الماء‏"
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "May Allah show mercy to a man who gets up during the night and performs Salat, awakens his wife to pray and if she refuses, he sprinkles water on her face (to make her get up). May Allah show mercy to a woman who gets up during the night and performs Salat, awakens her husband for the same purpose; and if he refuses, she sprinkles water on his face."[Abu Dawud].
