Abu Ja’far -asws and Abu Abdullah -asws ...

Abu Ja’far -asws and Abu Abdullah -asws : ‘The devotion [73:8] over here is raising the hands in the Salat’’ . Al-Reza -asws , from his -asws father -asws , from his -asws grandfather -asws having said: ‘Whatever is easy from it for you all having fearfulness of the heart in it and purity of the secret (intention)’’. And it is reported from Al-Reza -asws , Ahmad Bin Muhammad had asked him -asws about this Verse and said, ‘What is that glorification?’ He -asws said: ‘The night Salat’’ .

From Abu Ja’far -asws regarding His -azwj Words: Surely, your Lord Knows that you stand (in Salat) nearly two-thirds of the night, and half of it, and a third of it [73:20] . The Prophet -saww did that and gave glad tidings to the people. That was grievous upon them. He Knows that you will never compute it [73:20] , and the man would stand and he would not know when it would be half the night, and when would be the third, and the man would stand until morning fearing that he may not preserve it.

So, Allah -azwj Revealed: Surely, your Lord Knows that you stand (in Salat) – up to His -azwj Words: He Knows that you will never compute it [73:20] . He -azwj is Saying when the half and the third would happen. This Verse is Abrogated: therefore, recite from the Quran what is easy for you from the Quran [73:20] . And know that no Prophet -as had come except he secluded with night Salat, and no Prophet ‑as has come at all with the night Salat in the beginning of the night’’.
