1a] Small Deeds Great Reward

1a]
do the witr (prayer)…the first part, themiddle part and the last part
of it, and his witr would go to the last sixth part (sahar)."
Al-Bukhari and Muslim
Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said; The Messenger of Allah
(may the peace and blessings of Allah be uponhim) said: "Whoever fears
not getting up in the last part of the night, let him do the witr in
the first part and whoever expectshe will get up in the last part of
it let him do the witr at the end of the night. The prayer in the last
part of the night is witnessed and that is better." Muslim
Sh. 'Abdul 'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy onhim) said: "A person
should pray as is convenient for him in the first part of the night or
the middle part or the lastpart of it; he remains awake and prays as
is made easy for him, supplicates to his Lord, turns towards Him, and
seeks refuge with Him and he says the salam after every two units… The
tahajjud (night prayer) in the first part of the night or the middle
part or the last part of it isall good. However, the best is in the
last part of the night if that is easy forhim." End quote.

As with regard to your request to guide you to deeds which are easy
for you to do with your illness and which will not be burdensome and
harmful for you to do andits rewards from Allah, theMighty and
Majestic, are plentiful, then this is a sign of your intelligence and
high motivation. We ask Allah to grant you the strength to carry out
these great acts of obedience. We do not see anything more fitting for
you, due to your illness, than the words of remembrance which
bringabout great rewards fromthe Lord of the worlds if said. 'Abdullah
ibn Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a man said: O
Messenger of Allah, the laws of Islam have become many for me, tell me
something I can cling to. He said: "Your tongue should remain moist
with the remembrance of Allah." At-Tirmithee, Ibn Majah and others.
Authenticated by al-Albani.
Note that you may do great things -even with your sickness- such as
inviting towards Allah, maintaining family ties (even via telephone)
and buying booklets and having them distributed. We also bring your
attention to the great rewards in good conduct which is the heaviest
thing on the scale and which will elevate a person to the level of one
who spends his time praying and fasting. So donot let your illness be
an obstacle in carrying out those deeds which are notburdensome on
you.
May Allah grant you the ability to act upon what they contain
And Allah knows best.
