Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person wakes up in the morning while fasting, the gates of the heavens are opened for him, and his limbs begin to glorify (Allah), and the inhabitants of the lowest heaven seek forgiveness for him, until the sun begins to set. Then, if he performs one or two units of voluntary prayer, the heavens become illuminated for him, and his wives from among the wide-eyed maidens (hur al-‘ayn) say: O Allah! Take his soul and bring him to us, for we long to see him. If he says: 'La ilaha illallah, Subhanallah' and 'Allahu Akbar', the angels raise up these words and continue to record them until the evening."
