The titles “Qaim-ul-Lail” (قائم اللیل) meaning “One who stands in prayer during the night”, and “Saim-ul-Nahar” (صائم النهار) meaning “One who fasts during the day”, were given to Hazrat Usman bin Affan (RA), the third Caliph of Islam and a close companion of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Hazrat Usman (RA) was widely known for his devotion to worship, piety, and generosity. He would spend long hours in Tahajjud (night prayers) and regularly observe voluntary fasting during the day, apart from the obligatory fasts in Ramadan. His dedication to worship, humility, and sacrifices for the sake of Islam earned him these respected titles among the Sahaba (companions).
He was also known as “Zun-Nurayn” (The Possessor of Two Lights) because he married two daughters of the Prophet (SAW) at different times. As the third Caliph, he played a vital role in the compilation of the Holy Qur’an into one unified manuscript, preserving the Book of Allah for future generations.
