Night Of 'Eid-ul-Adh'haa
The nights of both 'Eid are described in the Hadeeth as amongst the great and sacred nights in the Muslim calendar. To remain awake on the nights of 'Eid and perform ibaadah is a source of great virtue and reward.
Abu Umaarah radhiyallahu anhu
relates that Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam said:
"Whoever
stays awake and performs ibaadah (Worship) on the night on the two 'Eid, with
hope for abundant reward (from Allah), his heart will not die on the day (i.e. Qiyaamah) when all hearts will be dead.''
Targheeb.
Mu'aaz Ibne Jabal radhiyallahu anhu relates that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam said:
"Jannat
is waajib (incumbent) for those who stay awake with the intention of
making ibaadah on the following nights: 8th, 9th and 10th of Zil
Hijjah, the night of 'Eid-ul-Fitr
and the night of the 15th of Sha'baan. "
Targheeb
Imaam Shafa'ee said: du'aa are answered on the nights of Friday (the night between Thursday and Friday), the nights before the two 'Eid and the 15th night of Sha'baan.
