وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «إِنَّ نٰاشِئَةَ اَللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئاً وَ أَقْوَمُ قِيلاً» قَالَ« قِيَامُهُ عَنْ فِرَاشِهِ لاَ يُرِيدُ إِلاَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ»
And from him, from Ayyub ibn Nuh, from Safwan, from Hisham ibn Salim: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام (was asked) regarding the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic: ‘Indeed, the rising by night is the firmest in tread and most upright in speech’ (Surah Muzzammil 73:6) Imam عليه السلام said: “His rising from his bed, desiring none but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic.”
