2. Imam Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would divide night into three parts. In the first part, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would engage in writing books; in the second part, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would offer Nawafil and in the third part, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would rest. Sayyiduna Rabi’ Bin Sulayman رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states that Imam Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would complete one Holy Quran every day, and he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would complete the Holy Quran sixty times in the nawafil of Ramadan. (Ar-Rauz-ul-Faiq, pp. 207)

3. Sayyiduna Hassan Karabeesi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has narrated: I spent many nights in the company of Sayyiduna Imam Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. I saw that he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would offer Salah in the one-third of the night and would never recite more than fifty Ayahs. Even if he did recite more than fifty Ayahs, then maximum he would recite is one hundred Ayahs. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would recite an Ayah of mercy, then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would make Du’a in the court of Allah Almighty for himself and all the believers to remain steadfast upon obedience. And when he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would recite an Ayah of punishment, then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would seek refuge from it and make Du’a to Allah Almighty for his own salvation and that of all the believers. (Tareekh-e-Baghdad, Raqm. 454, Muhammad Bin Idrees Shaafi’i, vol. 2, pp. 61)
