77. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that he saw the Prophet ﷺ sleeping, while in prostration position, until he snored or snorted. Then he stood up to pray. So I said: "O Messenger of Allāh! You were sleeping?" He said: "Wuḍū' is not required except for sleeping while reclining. For when one reclines, his joints relax." (Ḍa'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: Abū Khālid's (a narrator of this Hadīth) name is (Yazīd bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān). [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Aīshah, Ibn Mas'ūd, and Abū Hurairah.

Commentary
According to this saying of the Prophet ﷺ, the sleep is, in general, regarded among the things that nullify ablution; and the condition of sleeping in the prayer, outside of the prayer, sitting or standing is not mentioned. The issue of the Prophet's sleep in the prayer is different because his sleep is different than that of the people; he ﷺ said, 'my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep'.
