In the Quran

وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِۦ نَافِلَةًۭ لَّكَ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًۭا مَّحْمُودًۭا

اور بعض حصہ شب میں بیدار ہوا کرو (اور تہجد کی نماز پڑھا کرو) ۔ (یہ شب خیزی) تمہاری لئے (سبب) زیادت ہے (ثواب اور نماز تہجد تم کو نفل) ہے قریب ہے کہ خدا تم کو مقام محمود میں داخل کرے

And some part of the night awake for it, a largess for thee. It may be that thy Lord will raise thee to a praised estate.
