Narrated Abu Saeed and Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If a man awakens his wife at night, and then both pray or both offer two rak'ahs together, the (name of the)man will be recorded among those who mention the name of Allah, and the (name of the) woman will be recorded among those who mention the name of Allah. Ibn Kathir did not narrate this tradition as a statement of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , but he reported it as a statement of Abu Saeed. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Ibn Mahdi from Sufyan and I think he mentioned the name of Sufyan. He also said: The tradition transmitted by Sufyan is a statement of the Companion (and not that of the Prophet).
