تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ Qur’an As-Sajdah (32:16)
Tataj a f a junoobuhum AAani alma da jiAAi yadAAoona rabbahum khawfan wa t amaAAan wamimm a razaqn a hum yunfiqoon a
[and] who are im-pelled to rise14 from their beds [at night] to call out to their Sustainer in fear and hope; and who spend on others out of what We provide for them as sus-tenance.
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "whose sides [i.e., bodies] restlessly rise".

Who forsake their beds and invoke their Rabb with fear and hope; and they spend in charity out of the sustenance which We have given them.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
They abandon their beds, invoking their Lord with hope and fear, and donate from what We have provided for them.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Who forsake their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of what we have bestowed on them.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Their limbs do forsake their beds of sleep the while they call on their Lord in Fear and Hope: and they spend (in charity) out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them. 3648 3649
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Men and women "breathless with adoration" shun soft, comfortable beds, and luxurious sleep. Their limbs are better exercised in offices of devotion and prayer, especially by night. Commentators specially refer this to Prayers called Tahajjud, which are offered after midnight in the small hours of the morning.

In Fear and Hope: in spiritual fear lest their dedication to Allah should not be sufficiently worthy to be accepted, and a spiritual longing or hope that their shortcomings will be overlooked by the Mercy of Allah. And their adoration is not shown only in Prayer, but also in practical Service and Charity, out of whatever gifts they may have received from Allah.
