بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ ١

By the night when it covers

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ٢

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ٤

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ٥

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٦

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٧

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٨

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٩

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ١٠

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ١١

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ١٢

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٣

And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ ١٤

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١٥

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

ٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ١٦

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى ١٧

But the righteous one will avoid it -

ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ١٨

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ ١٩

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٢٠

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ ١ وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ٢ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ ٣ إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ ٤ فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ ٥ وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٦ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ ٧ وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ ٨ وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ ٩ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ ١٠ وَمَا يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ ١١ إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ ١٢ وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ ١٣ فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارٗا تَلَظَّىٰ ١٤ لَا يَصۡلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى ١٥ ٱلَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ١٦ وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى ١٧ ٱلَّذِي يُؤۡتِي مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ١٨ وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٖ تُجۡزَىٰٓ ١٩ إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ٢٠ وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ ٢١

The Recitation of Surat Al-Layl in the 'Isha' Prayer

The statement of the Prophet ﷺ to Mu'adh has already preceded, where he said,

فَهَلَّا صَلَّيْتَ بِــ

سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا

وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

(Why did you not pray with (the recitation of)(Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High)(87), and (By the sun and Duhaha)(91), and (By the night as it envelops)(92)?)
