Mutarrif bin ‘Abdillah رحمه الله stated:

“It’s more beloved to me that I spend the night sleeping and wake up in the morning regretful (for not praying during the night) than me spending the night in prayer and I wake up in the morning amazed (with myself).”

[Al-Majālsah wa Jawāhir Al-‘Ilm 5/300]
