177. Abū Qatādah narrated: “They asked the Prophet ﷺ about when they slept past the Ṣalāt. He said: ‘There is no negligence in sleep, negligence is only while one is awake. So when one of you forgets a Ṣalāt, or sleeps through it, then let him pray it when he remembers it.”) (Ṣaḥīḥ)
There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Mas‘ūd, Abū Mariam, ‘Imrān bin Ḥuṣain, Jubair bin Muṭ‘im, Abū Juhaifah, [Abū
Sa'eed], 'Amr bin Umayyah Ad-Damrī, and Dhu Mikhbar [and they call him: Dhu Mikhmar] – and he is the nephew of An-Najāshī.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Qatādah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
The people of knowledge differ (about the ruling) over a man who sleeps through the Ṣalāt, or forgets it, then he awakens and remembers it at a time not appropriate for praying such as, when the sun is rising or when it is setting.
Some of them say that he is to pray it when he wakes up and remembers it, even if it is when the sun is rising or setting. This is the saying of Ahmad, Ishāq, Ash-Shāfī'i, and Mālik. Some of them say he is not to pray it until the sun has risen or set.

Commentary
If a person remained sleeping at the time of prayer, but he thought of getting up at the time of prayer or someone would wake him, but he could not wake up, or if he forgot because he was busy in doing something lawful and necessary, in this case he is not guilty.
