*About Abd Allah “god bless him” said:
“One night I offered the night prayer with the Prophet “peace be upon him” and he kept on standing till an ill-thought came to me." We said, "What was the ill-thought?" He said, "It was to sit down and leave the Prophet “standing”.

*And Aisha “god bless her” said:
“The Prophet “peace be upon him” used to offer prayer at night “for such a long time” that his feet used to crack. I said, "Oh Allah's Messenger “peace be upon him”! Why do you do it since Allah has forgiven you your faults of the past and those to follow?" He said, "Shouldn't I love to be a thankful slave “of Allah”?' When he became old, he prayed while sitting, but if he wanted to perform a bowing, he would get up, recite “some other verses” and then perform the bowing”.
The narrator: Aisha / the speaker: El_Bukhari / the source: hadith El_Bukhari / page or number: “4837” / Summary of the speaker’s judgment: it’s true.
So, it's all the more desirable to do the night praying.

And when the Mu'adhdhin had finished the call “for the” dawn prayer and he saw the dawn clearly and the Mu'adhdhin had come to him, he stood up and prayed two short rak'ahs. Then he lay down on his right side till the Mu'adhdhin came to him for lqama”.

*It is preferable to delay the night prayer to one third or half of the night.
*About abo Hurairah “god bless him” that the messenger of god “peace be upon him” said:
“When it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, descends every night to the heaven of the world and says, 'Is there anyone who invokes Me “demand anything from Me”, that I may respond to his invocation; Is there anyone who asks Me for something that I may give “it to” him; Is there anyone who asks My forgiveness that I may forgive him?”.

*And the night prayer will be achieved even if it is a rakaat.
What's to be liked about reading.
It is desirable for anyone who reads in the night prayer, if he passes through a mercy verse, to ask God of his bounty, and if he passes through a verse of torment, he will seek refuge in God from hell, and if he passed a verse in it glorification he praise, and if he went through a question he asked.
*About Huzaifa Abn el_yaman “god bless him” said:
“I prayed with the Messenger of Allah “peace be upon him” one night and he started reciting al-Baqarah. I thought that he would bow at the end of one hundred verses, but he proceeded on; I then thought that he would perhaps recite the whole “surah” in a rak'ah, but he proceeded and I thought he would perhaps bow on completing “this surah”. He then started al-Nisa', and recited it; he then started Al-Imran and recited leisurely. And when he recited the verses which referred to the Glory of Allah, he glorified “by saying Subhan Allah-Glory to my Lord the Great”, and when he recited the verses which tell “how the Lord” is to be begged, he “the Holy Prophet” would then beg “from Him”, and when he recited the verses dealing with protection from the Lord, he sought “His” protection and would then bow and say: Glory be to my Mighty Lord; his bowing lasted about the same length of time as his standing “and then on returning to the standing posture after rak'ah” he would say: Allah listened to him who praised Him, and he would then stand about the same length of time as he had spent in bowing. He would then prostrate himself and say: Glory be to my Lord most High, and his prostration lasted nearly the same length of time as his standing”.
Hadith Muslim / “6” the book of: Prayer – Travelers / “27” chapter: It is recommended to recite for a long time in the night prayers / hadith number: “772.203” / page: “186”.
recited leisurely it’s means: he was lingered, unhurried.
El_sheikh al_albani “may gad rest his soul” said, in response to those who say: to prefer that in the prayer of obligatory:
“This is mentioned in the night prayer, as in the hadith of Huzaifa, It is necessary to follow the correct ones to stand when they are received and not to expand it by analogy and opinion, If it were legitimate in the duty’s, too, he would have done it, and if he had done it, he would have moved it first than in the naifal, as it is no secret”.END.
