Day 21 of Ramadan Hadith Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever prayed at night the whole month of ramadan
out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his
previous sins will be forgiven." Ibn Shihab (a sub-narrator) said,
"Allah's Apostle died and the people continued observing that (i.e.
Nawafil offered individually, not in congregation), and it remained as
it was during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr and in the early days of
'Umar's Caliphate." 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said, "I went out in
the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one night in ramadan
to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man
praying alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So,
'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would better collect these (people) under
the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in
congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai
bin Ka'b. Then on another night I went again in his company and the
people were praying behind their reciter. On that, 'Umar remarked,
'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the
prayer which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than
the one they are offering.' He meant the prayer in the last part of the
night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part of the
night." (Book #32, Hadith #227) Tabbouleh
