رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه used to complete his Wazifah [Islamic invocation] every night and when Friday night would approach, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه used to remain engaged in the worship of Allah Almighty the whole night. Sayyiduna Mugheerah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: I once passed by Sayyiduna Imam Maalik Bin Anas رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه at night when all people were asleep, I saw him standing and offering Salah, when he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه after reciting Surah Fatihah started Surah ‘اَلْہٰکُمُ التَّکَاثُرُ’ and when he reached this verse:

ثُمَّ لَتُسْــٴَـلُنَّ یَوْمَىٕذٍ عَنِ النَّعِیْمِ۠(۸)

Then indeed, on that Day, you will surely be
questioned regarding the bounties (of Allah)

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)](Part. 30, Surah At-Takasur, Ayah 8)

He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه kept weeping for a long time. I kept standing there and was engaged in listening to his recitation. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه kept on weeping and repeating this verse to the extent that morning light appeared then he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه performed Ruku’. I headed towards my home. When I came in the Masjid after doing Wudu, I saw a Majlis (of Religious knowledge) is in progress. People were sitting around him in circles and he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه had beautiful radiance on his blessed face. ٭  Muhammad Bin Khalid رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has stated: Whenever I see the blessed face of Imam Maalik رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه, I observe the signs of Hereafter on his face (i.e. engrossed in the fear of Hereafter). When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه used to say something, I understand that the truth comes out of his mouth. ٭ Sayyiduna Abu Mus’ab رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has stated: Sayyiduna Imam Maalik رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه used to perform long Ruku’ and Sajdah in one part of the night. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه used to stand in Salah, it would feel like dry wood. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه was inflicted the punishment of lashes, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه was asked: Offer short Salahs. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه replied: The act which a bondman performs for Allah Almighty, he should perform it with perfection. (In Part 29, Surah Al-Mulk, verse no. 2) Allah Almighty has said:
