أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَائِمًا يَحْذَرُ الْآخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing [in prayer], fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, [like one who does not]? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.

(Is he who payeth adoration in the watches of the night…) [39:9]. ‘Ata’ reported that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “Thisverse was revealed about Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be well pleased with him”. Ibn ‘Umar was of theopinion that it was revealed about ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan while Muqatil said that it was revealed about ‘Ammaribn Yasir.
أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ ءَانَآءَ الَّيْلِ سَـجِداً وَقَآئِماً يَحْذَرُ الاٌّخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُواْ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُو الاٌّلْبَـبِ
(9. Is one who is obedient to Allah, Ana'a Al-Layl prostrating and standing fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord Say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not'' It is only men of understanding who will remember.)
Allah says, `is the one who is like this equal to one who associates others in worship with Allah and sets up rivals to Him' They are not equal before Allah, as He says:
لَيْسُواْ سَوَآءً مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَـبِ أُمَّةٌ قَآئِمَةٌ يَتْلُونَ ءَايَـتِ اللَّهِ ءَانَآءَ الَّيْلِ وَهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ
(Not all of them are alike; a party of the People of the Scripture stand for the right, they recite the Ayat of Allah Ana'a Al-Layl, prostrating themselves (in prayer).) (3:113). And Allah says here:
أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ ءَانَآءَ الَّيْلِ سَـجِداً وَقَآئِماً
(Is one who is obedient to Allah, Ana'a Al-Layl prostrating and standing) meaning, one who is humble and fears Allah when he prostrates and stands (in prayer). It was reported that Ibn Mas`ud, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The obedient one is one who obeys Allah and His Messenger .'' Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Al-Hasan, As-Suddi and Ibn Zayd said, Ana'a Al-Layl means in the depths of the night.
يَحْذَرُ الاٌّخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُواْ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ
(fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord.) means, in his worship he feels both fear and hope. Both are essential in worship, and fear should be stronger during one's lifetime. Allah says:
يَحْذَرُ الاٌّخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُواْ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ
(fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord. ) At the time of death, hope is uppermost, as Imam `Abd bin Humayd recorded in his Musnad from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said, "The Messenger of Allah entered upon a man who was dying, and said to him,
«كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟»
(How do you feel) He said, `I am both afraid and hopeful.' The Messenger of Allah said:
«لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَوْطِنِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الَّذِي يَرْجُو، وَأَمَّنَهُ الَّذِي يَخَافُه»
(These do not co-exist in a person's heart at times such as this, but Allah will give him what he hopes for and protect him from that which he fears.)'' This was recorded by At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i in Al-Yawm wal-Laylah, and Ibn Majah from the Hadith of Yasar bin Hatim from Ja`far bin Sulayman. At-Tirmidhi said, "Gharib.'' Imam Ahmad recorded that Tamim Ad-Dari, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah said:
«مَنْ قَرَأَ بِمِائَةِ آيَةٍ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كُتِبَ لَهُ قُنُوتُ لَيْلَة»
(Whoever recites one hundred Ayat in one night, it will be recorded as if he prayed all night.) This was also recorded by An-Nasa'i in Al-Yawm wal-Laylah.
قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ
(Say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not'') means, is this one equal with the one who sets up rivals to Allah to mislead (men) from His path
إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُواْ الأَلْبَـبِ
(It is only men of understanding who will remember. ) means, the only one who will understand the difference between them is the one who has understanding. And Allah knows best.

Ayat ini membandingkan antara orang yang menjalankan ketaatan kepada Allah dengan orang yang tidak demikian, dan membandingkan antara orang yang berilmu dengan orang yang tidak berilmu, yaitu bahwa hal ini termasuk perkara yang jelas bagi akal dan diketahui secara yakin perbedaannya. Oleh karena itu, tidaklah sama antara orang yang berpaling dari ketaatan kepada Tuhannya dan mengikuti hawa nafsunya dengan orang yang menjalankan ketaatan, bahkan ketaatan yang dijalankannya adalah ketaatan yang paling utama, yaitu shalat dan di waktu yang utama, yaitu malam. Allah menyifati orang ini dengan banyak beramal dan menyifatinya dengan rasa takut dan harap, rasa takut masuk ke neraka karena dosa-dosa yang lalu yang telah dikerjakannya dan rasa berharap masuk ke surga karena amal yang dikerjakannya.
Yakni mengenal Tuhannya, mengenal syariat-Nya dan mengenal pembalasan-Nya serta mengenal rahasia dan hikmah-hikmahnya.
Yakni tentu tidak sama sebagaimana tidak sama antara siang dan malam, antara terang dan kegelapan, dan antara air dan api.
Mereka memiliki akal yang membimbing mereka untuk melihat akibat dari sesuatu, berbeda dengan orang yang tidak punya akal, maka ia menjadikan hawa nafsunya sebagai tuhannya.
Sehingga mereka mengutamakan yang kekal daripada yang sebentar, mengutamakan yang tinggi daripada yang rendah, mengutamakan ilmu daripada kebodohan dan mengutamakan ketaatan daripada kemaksiatan.
