Question

Where is this narrated?

Abud Darda (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said: “Perform two units of prayer in the gloom of night in preparation for the gloom of the tomb.”

 

Answer

Hafiz Ibn Rajab al-Hambali (rahimahullah) has cited this in Jami’ul ‘Ulumi wal Hikam.

Sayyiduna Abud Darda (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said: “Perform two rak’ahs of Salah in the darkness of the night [in preparation] for the darkness of the grave.”

(Jami’ul ‘Ulumi wal Hikam, vol. 1, pg. 427. Also see: Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 5180)

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is also reported to have said that Salah is a light for the Believer. See here.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

جامع العلوم والحكم: (١/ ٤٢٧)
وخرج الطبراني من حديث عبادة بن الصامت مرفوعا: «إذا حافظ العبد على صلاته، فأقام وضوءها، وركوعها، وسجودها، والقراءة فيها، قالت له: حفظك الله كما حفظتني، وصعد بها إلى السماء، ولها نور حتى تنتهي إلى الله عز وجل، فتشفع لصاحبها». وهي نور للمؤمنين في قبورهم، ولاسيما صلاة الليل كما قال أبو الدرداء: صلوا ركعتين في ظلم الليل لظلمة القبور.

فيض القدير:
(٥١٨٠) – (الصلاة نور المؤمن) أي تنور وجه صاحبها في الدنيا وتكسبه جمالا وبهاءا كما هو مشاهد محسوس و [تنور] قلبه لأنها تشرق فيه أنوار المعارف ومكاشفات الحقائق و [تنور] قبره كما قال أبو الدرداء صلوا ركعتين في ظلم الليل لظلمة القبر…
