The virtue and reward of praying for a full night

✅ Answer:

Among the things to consider and practice are the following:

قال امیرالمؤمنین صلوات الله علیه فی حدیث: وَ مَنْ صَلَّی لَیْلَةً تَامَّةً تَالِیاً لِکِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَاکِعاً وَ سَاجِداً وَ ذَاکِراً أُعْطِیَ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ مَا أَدْنَاهُ یَخْرُجُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ کَیَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَ یُکْتَبُ لَهُ عَدَدُ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ مِثْلَهَا دَرَجَاتٌ وَ یُثَبَّتُ النُّورُ فِی قَبْرِهِ وَ یُنْزَعُ الْإِثْمُ وَ الْحَسَدُ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ وَ یُجَارُ مِنَ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ یُعْطَی بَرَاءَةً مِنَ النَّارِ وَ یُبْعَثُ مَعَ الْآمِنِینَ

Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) said in a narration:

Anyone who prays a full night and recites the Book of Allah, glorifying Him while in ruku' and sujud, will receive so much reward that the least of it is that they will be cleansed of their sins as though they were born anew, and for as many creations as Allah has made, good deeds will be written for them. Their rank will be elevated accordingly, their grave will be filled with light, and envy and sins will be removed from their heart. They will be protected from the punishment of the grave, granted salvation from the fire, and will be gathered among the peaceful ones.

💠 Supplication is a very important tool to overcome the diseases of the soul, and as an example, several parts of prayers from Sahifa Sajjadiya exist to seek protection from envy, which are provided below:

✅ Eighth supplication of Sahifa Sajjadiya:

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَيَجانِ الْحِرْصِ وَسَوْرَةِ الْغَضَبِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الْحَسَدِ،

✅ Twentieth supplication:

اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ مَا يُلْقِى الشَّيْطانُ فى رُوعى مِنَ التَّمَنّى وَالتَّظَنّى وَالْحَسَدِ، ذِكْرا لِعَظَمَتِكَ، وَتَفَكُّرا فى قَدْرَتِكَ، وَتَدْبيرا عَلى عَدُوِّكَ

✅ Twenty-second supplication in two parts:

1⃣ اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الِه، وَخَلِّصْنى مِنَ الْحَسَدِ، وَاحْصُرْنى عَنِ الذُّنُوبِ، وَوَرِّعْنى عَنِ الْمَحارِمِ، وَ لا تُجَرِّئْنى عَلَى الْمَعاصى

2⃣ اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الِهِ، وَارْزُقْنى سَلامَةَ الصَّدْرِ مِنَ الْحَسَدِ حَتّى لا اَحْسُدَ اَحَدا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ عَلى شَيْءٍ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، وَحَتّى لا اَرى نِعْمَةً مِنْ نِعَمِكَ عَلى اَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فى دينٍ اَوْ دُنْيا، اَوْ عافِيَةٍ اَوْ تَقْوى، اَوْ سَعَةٍ اَوْ رَخاءٍ، اِلاّ رَجَوْتُ لِنَفْسى اَفْضَلَ ذلِكَ بِكَ وَمِنْكَ، وَحْدَكَ لا شَريكَ لَك

اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الِه

In the last supplication, a practical solution is also presented, and care should be taken in it. InshaAllah.

These supplications can be recited during qunut, in sujud, or at any other time to benefit from their blessings.
