صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7125

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Mughira b. Shu'ba and the words are: Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) kept standing in prayer (for such long hours) that his feet were swollen. They (his Companions) said: Verily, Allah has pardoned for thee the earlier and the later of thine sins. Thereupon he said: Should I not prove myself to be a grateful servant (of Allah)?
