Arabic text

443 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا نَعَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَنْصَرِفْ وَلْيَرْقُدْ»

Commentary

If one is not overwhelmed by sleep and is conscious, and is under a slight state of drowsiness, he should shorten (the duration of) his prayer and must not abandon it. This is because the Praying person's state of ability to use his senses and mental power to understand what is happening is strong enough for him to complete his prayer. In this situation, the duration of the prayer may be shortened.
