Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishAnd in part of the night, O Messenger, stand and pray, so that your prayer increases your rank, and seeking for your Lord to raise you to the praised station on the Day of Judgment, as an intercessor for the people from the horrors of the Day of Judgment, and so that you attain the position of the great intercession, for which the first and last will praise you.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And in some parts of the night (also) offer the Salat (prayer) with it (i.e. recite the Quran in the prayer), as an additional prayer (Tahajjud optional prayer Nawafil) for you (O Muhammad SAW). It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqaman Mahmuda (a station of praise and glory, i.e. the highest degree in Paradise!).

17:79 And from [part of] the night, pray with it as additional [worship] translate in arabic
ومن الليل فتهجد به نافلة لك عسى أن يبعثك ربك مقاما محمودا
سورة: الإسراء - آية: ( 79 ) - جزء: ( 15 ) - صفحة: ( 290 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And rouse up during the hours of the night to additional devotional exercise which is meritorious and adds to your credit; may Allah, your Creator, elevate you to a position of great honour, excellence and glory
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(17:79) Besides this, offer Tahajjud Prayer *96 at night: this is an additional prayer for you. *97 That time is not far when your Lord may exalt you to a laudable position. *98
And from [part of] the night, pray with it as additional [worship] meaning
*96) The literal meaning of "Tahajjud" is to rise up by breaking sleep. Therefore, the sentence has been translated into "Offer Tahajjud Prayer", which means "Rise up from sleep after the passing of a part of night and then offer your Prayer. "
*97) "Nafl" literally means "something done in addition to an obligatory duty". This shows that the Tahajjud Prayer is in addition to the five prescribed Prayers.
*98) "....... may exalt you to a laudable position": "You may attain such a high position in this world and in the next world that people from everywhere may be full of praise for you, and you may become a praiseworthy personality." This is, as if to say, "Now your opponents are engaged in calling you names and arc trying to defame you throughout the country, and have raised a storm of false accusations against you but that time is not far when the world will ring with the echoes of your praise and in the Hereafter you will become worthy of praise by all creatures. " The exaltation of the Holy Prophet to the high position of intercession on the Day of Resurrection is also a part of that "laudable position."
