Sura Al-Asra from 76 to 86

76. And verily they were about to frighten you so much as to drive you out from the land. But in that case they would not have stayed ( therein ) after you, except for a little while.
77. ( This was Our ) Sunnah ( rule or way ) with the Messengers We sent before you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) , and you will not find any alteration in Our Sunnah ( rule or way ) .
78. Perform As- Salât ( Iqamât- as- Salât ) [ 1 ] from mid- day till the darkness of the night ( i.e. the Zuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib and ‘Ishâ’ prayers ) , and recite the Qur’ân in the early dawn ( i.e. the morning prayer ) . Verily, the recitation of the Qur’ân in the early dawn is ever witnessed ( attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night ) [ 2 ] .
79. And in some parts of the night ( also ) offer the Salât ( prayer ) with it ( i.e. recite the Qur’ân in the prayer ) , as an additional prayer ( Tahajjud optional prayer - Nawâfil ) for you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) . It may be that your Lord will raise you to Maqâm Mahmûd ( a station of praise and glory, i.e. the honour of intercession on the Day of Resurrection. ) [ 3 ] .
80. And say ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) : My Lord! Let my entry ( to the city of Al- Madinah ) be good, and ( likewise ) my exit ( from the city of Makkah ) be good. And grant me from You an authority to help me ( or a firm sign or a proof ) .
81. And say: « Truth ( i.e. Islâmic Monotheism or this Qur’ân or Jihâd against polytheists ) has come and Bâtil ( falsehood, i.e. Satan or polytheism ) has vanished. Surely Bâtil is ever bound to vanish. »
82. And We send down of the Qur’ân that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe ( in Islâmic Monotheism and act on it ) , and it increases the Zâlimûn ( polytheists and wrong- doers ) nothing but loss.
83. And when We bestow Our Grace on man ( the disbeliever ) , he turns away and becomes arrogant ( far away from the Right Path ) . And when evil touches him, he is in great despair.
84. Say ( O Muhammad ( saas ) to mankind ) : « Each one does according to Shakilatihi ( i.e. his way or his religion or his intentions. ) , and your Lord knows best of him whose path ( religion ) is right. »
85. And they ask you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) concerning the Rûh ( the Spirit ) ; Say: « The Rûh ( the Spirit ) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you ( mankind ) have been given only a little. »
86. And if We willed, We could surely take away that which We have revealed to you ( i.e. this Qur’ân ) . Then you would find no protector for you against Us in that respect.

[2] (V.17:78)
Narrated Abu Salâmah bin ‘Abdur- Râhman: Abu Hurairah ( raa ) said, « I heard Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) saying, ‘The reward of a Salât ( prayer ) in congregation is twenty- five times superior in degrees to that of a Salât ( prayer ) offered by a person alone. The angels of the night and the angels of the day gather at the time of Fajr prayer.’ »
Abu Hurairah then added, « Recite the Holy Book if you wish, for ‘Verily, the recitation of the Qur’ân in the early dawn ( Fajr prayer ) is ever witnessed ( attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night ) ’ ( V.17:78 ) » . ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.1, Hadith No.621 ) .

A ) . Narrated Ibn ‘Umar ( raa ) « On the Day of Resurrection the people will fall on their knees and every nation will follow their Prophet and they will say, ‘O so- and- so! Intercede ( for us with Allâh ) ’, till ( the right of ) of intercession will be given to the Prophet ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) and that will be the day when Allâh will raise him to Maqâm Mahmûd ( a station of praise and glory i.e the honour of intercession on the Day of Resurrection ) » . ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadith No.242 )
B ) . Narrated Jâbir bin ‘Abdullâh ( raa ) : Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) said, « Whoever, after listening to the Adhân ( call for the prayer ) says, ‘O Allâh, the Lord of this complete call and of this prayer, which is going to be established! Give Muhammad Al- Wasîlah and Al- Fadîlah* and raise him to Maqâm Mahmûd , which You have promised him,’ will be granted my intercession for him on the Day of Resurrection. » ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadith No.243 ) .
* Al- Wasîlah is the highest position in Paradise which is granted to the Prophet ( saas ) particularly; Al- Fadîlah is the extra degree of honour which is bestowed on him above all creation.
