1372. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When anyone of you gets up to pray at night, and his tongue stumbles over the words of the Qur'an and he does not know what he is saying, let him lie down." (Sahih)
1372 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَاسْتَعْجَمَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى لِسَانِهِ، فَلَمْ يَدْرِ مَا يَقُولُ، اضْطَجَعَ»

'Stumbling over the words of the Qur'an' means when drowsiness makes it difficult for him to recite the Qur'an, or he loses good knowledge of what his tongue is repeating, let him stop his recitation and prayer, and go to bed.
