English translation

355. ‘Āishah narrated that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said: “When one of you is sleepy and he is performing Ṣalāt, then let him lie down until the sleep is gone from him. For when one of you performs Ṣalāt while he is sleepy, perhaps he wants to seek forgiveness but he curses himself.” (Sahīh) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Anas and Abū Hurairah. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of ‘Āishah is a Hasan Sahīh Hadīth.

٣٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْكِلَابِيُّ ، عَنْ ‌هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا نَعَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلْيَرْقُدْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ النَّوْمُ،» فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى وَهُوَ يَنْعَسُ فَلَعَلَّهُ يَذْهَبُ لِيَسْتَغْفِرَ فَيَسُبُّ نَفْسَهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

When a person offering prayer is overwhelmed by sleep and unaware of what he is saying with his tongue, and thus he is losing interest in prayer and unable to carry on the prayer, he should end the prayer and go to sleep.
