باب فضل قيام ليلة القدْر وبَيان أرجى ليالها
وَعَنْ أَبي هُريرةَ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ ، عن النَّبِيِّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : « مَنْ قام لَيْلَةَ القَدْرِ إِيماناً واحْتِسَاباً ، غُفِر لَهُ ما تقدَّم مِنْ ذنْبِهِ » متفقٌ عليه .

The Superiority of Lailat-ul-Qadr (the Night of Decree)
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Whosoever performs Qiyam during Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), with Faith and being hopeful of Allahs reward, will have his former sins forgiven."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
Qiyam here means what keeps one awake to one's capacity and for worship and makes one perform Nawafil, impels one to beg pardon for sins from Allah, urges one to praise Him. Specially, if a person performs `Isha prayer and Fajr prayer in congregation, he will hopefully attain all those distinctions which are mentioned in this Hadith.
