Jarir bin 'Abdullah Al-Bajali narrated: We were seated with the Prophet (s.a.w) when he looked towards the moon on the night of a full moon and said: Indeed you shall be placed before your Lord and you shall see Him as you see this moon. You will see Him without trouble. So if you are able to keep from becoming overwhelmed from prayer before the rising of the sun and before its setting, then do so. Then he recited: And glorify the praises of your Lord before the setting.
