verily your lord knows that you do stand a little less than twothirds of the night or half the night or a third of the night and so do a party of those with you and allah measures the night and the day. he knows that you are unable to pray the whole night so he has turned to you . so recite you of the quran as much as may be easy for you. he knows that there will be some among you sick others travelling through the land seeking of allahs bounty yet others fighting in allahs cause. so recite as much of the quran as may be easy and perform assalat and give zakat and lend to allah a goodly loan and whatever good you send before you for yourselves you will certainly find it with allah better and greater in reward. and seek forgiveness of allah. verily allah is oftforgiving mostmerciful.
إن ربك يعلم أنك تقوم أدنى من ثلثي الليل ونصفه وثلثه وطائفة من الذين معك والله يقدر الليل والنهار علم أن لن تحصوه فتاب عليكم فاقرءوا ما تيسر من القرآن علم أن سيكون منكم مرضى وآخرون يضربون في الأرض يبتغون من فضل الله وآخرون يقاتلون في سبيل الله فاقرءوا ما تيسر منه وأقيموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة وأقرضوا الله قرضا حسنا وما تقدموا لأنفسكم من خير تجدوه عند الله هو خيرا وأعظم أجرا واستغفروا الله إن الله غفور رحيم
