Hakika Mola wako, ewe Mtume, Anajua kuwa wewe unasimama kwa swala ya Tahajudi kipindi cha usiku, wakati mwingine chini ya theluthi mbili za usiku, na wakati mwingine unasimama nusu yake, na wakati mwingine theluthi yake. Na wanasimama pamoja na wewe kundi la Maswahaba wako. Na Mwenyezi Mungu, Peke Yake, Ndiye Anayekadiria usiku na mchana na Anajua vipimo vyake na kipindi kinachopita na kusalia cha mchana na usiku. Mwenyezi Mungu Anajua kwamba haiwezekani kwenu nyinyi kusimama usiku wote, hivyo basi akawafanyia mambo kuwa mepesi kwenu. Na msome kwenye Swala ya usiku kile kilichokuwa chepesi kwenu kukisoma katika Qur’ani. Mwenyezi Mungu anajua kuwa miongoni mwenu kuna wanaoelemewa na ugonjwa wasiweze kusimama usiku. Na kuna watu wengine wanatembea ardhini kwa biashara na kazi wakitafuata riziki ya Mwenyezi Mungu ya halali. Na kuna watu wengine wanapigana jihadi katika njia ya Mwenye kuliinua neno Lake na kutangaza dini Yake. Basi someni kutoka kwenye Qur’ani kile kilicho chepesi kwenu, na endeleeni kutekeleza faradhi za Swala, na toeni Zaka za lazima kwenu, na toeni sadaka za mali yenu katika njia za wema na hisani kwa kutaka radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu. Na chochote kile mnachokifanya miongoni mwa njia za wema na kheri na matendo ya utiifu, mtapata malipo yake na thawabu zake kwa Mwenyezi Mungu Siku ya Kiyama, hali ya kuwa ni bora zaidi kuliko kile mlichokitanguliza duniani na ni chenye thawabu kubwa zaidi. Na mtake msamaha wa Mwenyezi Mungu katika hali zenu zote. Hakika Mwenyezi Mumngu ni Msamehefu sana kwenu ni Mwenye huruma na nyinyi.

20. Your Lord, O Messenger, knows that you sometimes spend less than two thirds of the night in prayer, sometimes you stand for half the night, sometimes a third, and a group of the believers stand with you. Allah determines the night and day and counts their hours. He (may He be glorified) knows that you are not able to count and keep a record of its hours, and thus standing for the most part of it seeking the required will be difficult for you. He therefore has accepted your repentance. So pray at night as much as is easy for you. Allah knows that some of you, O believers, may be ill and constrained by illness - others will be travelling seeking Allah’s provision, and others will be fighting the disbelievers seeking Allah’s pleasure and to promote Allah’s word. For these people standing in prayer at night is difficult, so pray at night as much as is easy for you and discharge the obligatory prayer in the most perfect manner. Give the charity of your wealth and spend from your wealth in Allah’s path. Whatever good you send forward for yourselves, you will find it to be better and greater in reward. Seek forgiveness from Allah. Allah Forgiving towards those of His servants who repent and He is merciful to them.
