#1081 Zakariyya ibn 'Adi narrated to us, Yazid ibn Zuray' narrated to us, from Dawud ibn Abi Hind, from al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr, from Abu Dharr, who said: We fasted the month of Ramadan with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). He said: He did not lead us in standing [in prayer] during the month at all until seven [nights] remained. He said: Then he led us in standing until a third of the night had passed. He said: When it was the sixth [night remaining], he did not lead us in standing. When it was the fifth [night remaining], he led us in standing until half of the night had passed. We said: O Messenger of Allah, if only you would lead us in voluntary prayer for the remainder of this night of ours. He said: Indeed, when a man stands with the Imam until he finishes his prayer, it is recorded for him as standing the entire night. Then, when it was the fourth [night remaining], he did not lead us in standing. When it was the third [night remaining], he gathered his family, his wives, and the people, and led us in standing until we feared that we would miss the falah. We said: And what is the falah? He said: The pre-dawn meal (suhur). He said: Then he did not lead us in standing for the remainder of the month. 'Ubayd Allah ibn Musa narrated to us, from Sufyan, from Dawud, from al-Walid ibn 'Abd al-Rahman al-Jurashi, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr al-Hadrami, from Abu Dharr, similar to it.
