Haka kuma akwai maganar Umar cewa: "Sallolin da kuke barin barci saboda su sun fi falala."
They (the jurists) agreed that the Ramadan night prayer is more desirable than the night prayer during any of the other months, because of the words of the Prophet (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), “He who celebrates the Ramadan nights praying and worshipping because of his faith and only for Allah’s sake will be forgiven all prior sins that have issued forth from him”. The (jurists agreed that the) tarawih prayers, the congregation in the mosque for which was started by TJmar, are desirable. They differed, however, on whether these (night prayers during Ramadan known as tarawih) have greater merit or the prayers during the later part of the night, that is, the prayer preferred by the Messenger of Allah (God’s peace and blessings be upon him). The majority held that the prayers of the later part of the night have greater merit because of the words of the Prophet (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), “The best prayer is the prayer in your houses, except .the obligatory prayers”. There is also TJmar’s saying that “those for which you give up sleep have greater merit”.
