حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ الرَّمْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ شَابُورَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي الطَّوِيلِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ حَرْسُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صِيَامِ رَجُلٍ وَقِيَامِهِ فِي أَهْلِهِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ السَّنَةُ ثَلاَثُمِائَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ يَوْمًا وَالْيَوْمُ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

ʿĪsā ibn Yūnus al-Ramlī narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Shuʿayb ibn Shābūr narrated to us, from Saʿīd ibn Khālid ibn Abī al-Ṭawīl, who said: I heard Anas ibn Mālik say: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “One night of keeping watch in the path of God is better than a man fasting and praying among his family for a thousand years. A year is three hundred and sixty days, and a day is like a thousand years.”
