2277 This was held to be addressed specially to the Holy Prophet who usually prayed more than the five canonical prayers. The Tahajjud' was a prayer after midnight in the small watches of the morning. 2278 To the Prophet was to be assigned in the Hereafter the highest Post of Honour and Glory- the Maqam Mahmud implying his excellence above all other Prophets. The immediate reference may be to the hope that the Makkan persecution will soon be over and the glorious work in Madinah will begin. (R).
