Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 37, Hadith 43
At-Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka’b narrated from his father who said: “When a third of the night had passed, the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) stood and said: ‘O you people! Remember Allah! Remember Allah! The Rajifah is coming, followed by the Radifah, death and what it brings is coming, death and what it brings is coming!'” Ubayy said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Indeed I say very much Salat for you. How much of my Salat should I make for you?’ He said: ‘As you wish.'” “I said: ‘Then two-thirds? ‘He said: ‘As you wish, but if you add more it would be better for you.’ I said: ‘Should I make all of my Salat for you?’ He said: ‘Then your problems would be solved and your sins would be forgiven.'”

Its canonical status is confirmed by its inclusion in the Kutub al-Sittah, the six books that form the primary foundation of Islamic tradition. These are the collections of al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi himself, al-Nasa’i, and ibn Majah. This particular text is notable for its size and structure, comprising over 4,000 hadiths that are neatly divided into 46 separate books.
