Al-Muzzammil 73:5–7
A weighty word
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًۭا ثَقِيلًا ٥ إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْـًۭٔا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا ٦ إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًۭا طَوِيلًۭا ٧
The meaning, simply
O Prophet, We will send down to you a great Quran full of commands and rulings. Worship at night touches the heart more deeply, because the heart is free from the day's busy work, and in the day you have much to do.
