1ºA man asks one of the righteous men: that dogs give birth to 7 and sheep only give birth to 3, but if we look around us, we will find that sheep are more numerous than dogs, although sheep are slaughtered on a daily basis, among them to honor the guest, and from them to trade in their meat or contribute to the sacrifice. What is the secret that makes sheep more numerous than dogs? The Sheikh said: This is the blessing. Then the man asked him: Why did the sheep deserve the blessing without the dogs? The Sheikh replied: Because the sheep lie at the beginning of the night and rise before dawn, so they realize the time of mercy, so the blessing descends on them. As for the dogs, they bark all night long, so if the time of dawn approaches, they become obsessed and fall asleep, and the time for mercy misses them, so the blessing is removed from them... Stay up late and realize the dawn prayer and the times of mercy, so that you may obtain blessings in sustenance, children, and deeds
