1310. Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "If one of you yawns during the prayer, let him lie down until his sleep leaves him. For one of you might pray while he is sleepy, and intend to seek forgiveness but instead curse himself!" (Sahih)
1310 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا نَعَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَلْيَرْقُدْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ النَّوْمُ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى وَهُوَ نَاعِسٌ، لَعَلَّهُ يَذْهَبُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ، فَيَسُبَّ نَفْسَهُ»

1. Humbleness, submissiveness, and presence of mind — these are pre-requisites of prayer. 2. A person who feels sleepy should first lie down to sleep, and then get up and pray a voluntary prayer. One should not perform a voluntary prayer while dozing.
