What was the Prophet Muhammad (saw)'s response when asked what was the most excellent prayer after the prescribed prayer and the most excellent fast after the month of Ramadan?
 Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) was asked as to which prayer was most excellent after the prescribed prayer, and which fast was most excellent after the month of Ramadan. He said:                      Prayer offered in the middle of the night and the most excellent fast after (fasting) in the month of Ramadan is the fast in God's month al-Muharram.
