Al-Muzzammil 73:1–4
Stand at night
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ ١ قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا ٢ نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا ٣ أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا ٤
The meaning, simply
O Prophet, you who wrap yourself in your clothes, stand at night in prayer except a little: half of it, a little less, or a little more. And recite the Quran slowly and clearly, letter by letter.
