while he was praying, raising his voice. He said: "When we gathered with the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), he said: 'O Abu Bakr, I passed by you while you were praying, and you were lowering your voice.'" He said: "I let the One with whom I am conversing hear me, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Raise it a little." And he said to 'Umar: "I passed by you while you were praying, and you were raising your voice." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I wake the sleepy and drive away the devil." He said: "Lower your voice a little." Narrated by Abu Dawood (108). Abu Sa'id said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was in i'tikaf (seclusion) in the mosque and heard them reciting aloud. He opened the curtain and said: "Indeed, every one of you is conversing with his Lord, so let none of you annoy one another, and let none of you raise your voice over another in recitation," or he said, "in prayer." Extracted by Abu Dawood (109).
Section: Whoever has a Tahajjud (night prayer) routine but misses it, it is recommended for him to make it up between the Fajr and Dhuhr prayers, due to the saying of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): "Whoever sleeps past his hizb (allotted portion of prayer) or part of it, and then recites it between the Fajr prayer and the Dhuhr prayer, it is recorded for him as if he had recited it at night." From 'Aishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to be consistent when he performed an act, and when he would sleep through the night or fall ill, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. She said: I never saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) stand in prayer for a whole night until morning, nor did he fast a month continuously except for Ramadan. Both were extracted by Muslim (110).
