Arabic text

722 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنَامُ وَهُوَ شَابٌّ عَزْبٌ لَا أَهْلَ لَهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

Commentary

Mosques are not built for people to sleep in them. Hence, it is not appropriate to use mosques for sleeping without a good reason. But for one sitting waiting for an upcoming prayer, for the duration of a spiritual retreat (I'tikâf), for a homeless person, or for one who is travelling, sleeping in the mosque is allowed.
