Hadith.1391 - Abu Ubaydah al-Haddha’ reported from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir 
regarding the verse of Allah (swt), the Exalted,
"Their sides forsake their beds" (Surah As-Sajdah 32:16).
Abu Ja’far said: "Perhaps you think that these people did not sleep?"
I replied: "Allah (swt) and His Messenger know best."
Imam said: "This body must be allowed rest so that the soul can depart and the body can rejuvenate. When the soul returns, it restores the body's strength for action.
This verse refers to those who rest their bodies but then rise in devotion, praying to their Lord (azj) out of fear and hope.
This was revealed concerning The Commander of the Faithful and his followers among our Shia. They sleep in the early part of the night, then when two-thirds of the night have passed or as much as Allah (swt) wills, they hasten to their Lord (azj), desiring Him, fearing Him, and hoping for what He has. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, mentioned them in His Book to His Prophet ﷺ and informed them of what He had granted them—settling them near Him, entering them into His Paradise, granting them security from fear, and calming their dread."
I said: "May I be your ransom, if I rise during the last part of the night, what should I say?"
Imam said: "Say, 'All praise is due to Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the worlds, the God of the Messengers. All praise is due to Allah (swt), who gives life to the dead and resurrects those in the graves.' When you say this, the evil whisperings of Shaytan will depart from you, if Allah (swt) wills."
