Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib: That one night Allah's Apostle visited him and Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle and said to them, Won 't you offer (night) prayer?.. `Ali added: I said, O Allah's Apostle! Our souls are in the Hand of Allah and when He Wishes to bring us to life, He does. Then Allah's Apostle went away when I said so and he did not give any reply. Then I heard him on leaving while he was striking his thighs, saying, 'But man is, more quarrelsome than anything.' (18.54)
