📖 1 min readعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «رَحِمَ الله رجلا ًقام من الليل، فَصَلى وأيْقَظ امرأته، فإن أَبَتْ نَضَحَ في وَجْهِهَا الماء، رَحِمَ الله امرأة قامت من الليل، فَصَلت وأَيْقَظت زوجها، فإن أَبَى نَضَحَت في وجْهِه الماء».
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says a man or a woman deserves Allah's mercy when wakes up at night to pray and wakes up their spouse to pray as well. If one's spouse refuses to wake up because of heavy sleep or laziness, one might sprinkle little water on their face.
