Is There Any Difference Between Tahajjud And Qiyaam Al-layl? by Nobody: 5:24pm On Oct 15, 2016 |
Praise be to Allaah.
Qiyaam al-layl means spending the night, or
part of it, even if it is only one hour, in
prayer, reading Qur’aan, remembering Allah
(dhikr) and other acts of worship. It is not
stipulated that it should take up most of the
night.
It says in Maraaqi al-Falaah: What is meant
by qiyaam is spending most of the night in
worship, or it was said: spending one hour of
it, in reading Qur'aan, listening to hadeeth,
glorifying Allah (tasbeeh) or sending
blessings upon the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him). End quote.
Al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kuwaitiyyah,
34/117.
Tahajjud means specifically praying at night,
and some scholars limited it to prayers that
are offered at night after sleeping.
Al-Hajjaaj ibn ‘Amr al-Ansaari (may Allah be
pleased with him) said: One of you thinks
that if he gets up at night and prays until
morning comes that he has done tahajjud.
But in fact tahajjud means praying after
sleeping, then praying after sleeping. That is
how the Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace of Allah upon him) prayed. Al-Haafiz
Ibn Hajar said in al-Talkhees al-Habeer
(2/35): Its isnaad is hasan; it includes Abu
Saalih, the scribe of al-Layth, and it is
somewhat weak. It was also narrated by al-
Tabaraani, whose isnaad includes Ibn
Luhay‘ah, whose report is supported by the
one that came before it. End quote.
Thus it becomes clear that qiyaam al-layl is
more general than tahajjud, because it
includes prayer and other actions, and it
includes prayer before and after sleeping.
But tahajjud is exclusively praying, and
there are two opinions concerning it. The
first is that it means praying at any time of
the night, which is the view of the majority
of fuqaha’.
The second is that it is prayer after sleeping.
See: al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 2/232.
Al-Qurtubi (may Allah have mercy on him)
said in his commentary on the verse
(interpretation of the meaning): “And in
some parts of the night (also) offer the
Salaah (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the
Qur’aan in the prayer) as an additional
prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer Nawâfil)
for you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ
ﻭﺳﻠﻢ). It may be that your Lord will raise
you to Maqâm Mahmûd (a station of praise
and glory, i.e., the honour of intercession on
the Day of Resurrection)” [al-Isra’ 17:97] :
Tahajjud comes from hujood, which is doing
one thing and the opposite, it so the word
hajada may mean he slept or it may mean
he stayed up at night, which are opposites.
Tahajjud means waking up after sleeping,
and it became a name for prayer, because
the individual wakes up for it. So tahajjud
means getting up to pray at night. This
meaning was given by al-Aswad, ‘Ilqimah,
‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn al-Aswad and others.
Ismaa‘eel ibn Ishaaq al-Qaadi narrated from
the hadeeth of al-Hajjaaj ibn ‘Amr, the
Companion of the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah upon him) that he said: Does
one of you think that if he gets up and
spends the entire night in prayer that he
had prayed tahajjud? Rather tahajjud is
praying after sleeping, then praying after
sleeping, then praying after sleeping. This is
how the Messenger of Allah (blessing and
peace of Allah be upon him) prayed.
And it was said tahajjud means sleep, as it is
said in Arabic, Tahajjada al-rajul, meaning
the man stayed up, and alqa al-hujood, i.e.,
sleep. And the one who gets up to pray is
called mutahajjid. End quote from Tafseer
al-Tabari, 10/307.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on
him) was asked: What is the difference
between Taraweeh, Qiyaam and Tahajjud?
Please advise us, may you be rewarded.
He replied: Prayer at night is called tahajjud
or qiyaam al-layl, as Allah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
“And in some parts of the night (also) offer
the Salaah (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the
Qur’aan in the prayer) as an additional
prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer Nawâfil)
for you”
[al-Isra’ 17:79]
“O you wrapped in garments (i.e. Prophet
Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ)!
2. Stand (to pray) all night, except a little”
[al-Muzzammil 73:1-2]
“They used to sleep but little by night
[invoking their Lord (Allaah) and praying,
with fear and hope]”
[al-Dhaariyaat 51:17].
With regard to Taraweeh, the scholars use
this word to refer to qiyaam al-layl in
Ramadan at the beginning of the night,
which should be made light and not lengthy.
It may also be called tahajjud or qiyaam al-
layl.
And Allah is the source of strength.
