13. It means an oath is taken in the evening time. They read and engross themselves in the remembrance of Allah Almighty. Also, an oath is taken on the night which is the time of loving talk between Allah Almighty and His beloved servants and an oath is taken on those pious deeds which are performed during the darkness of the night e.g. Tahajjud Salaah, weeping to the Lord, expressing lamentation, offering repentance, etc. because these are beloved to Allah Almighty, and their times too are beloved to Him. May Allah Almighty make this statement a practical aspect of our lives!
