2- حال السلف والشتاء
من كلام يحيى بن معاذ:( الليل طويل فلا تقصره بمنامك والإسلام نقي فلا تدنسه بآثامك).
وروي عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه انه قال:( مرحبا بالشتاء، تنزل فيه البركة ويطول فيه الليل للقيام، ويقصر فيه النهار للصيام).
ومن درر كلام الحسن البصري قال:(نعم زمان المؤمن الشتاء ليله طويل يقومه ونهاره قصير يصومه).
وعن عبيد بن عمير - رحمه الله- انه كان اذا جاء الشتاء قال:( يا أهل القرآن! طال ليلكم لقراءتكم فاقرؤوا، وقصر النهار لصيامكم فصوموا).
