📖 1 min readعن عائشة رضي الله عنها مرفوعاً: «إذا نَعَسَ أحدكم وهو يصلي فَلْيَرْقُدْ حتى يذهب عنه النوم، فإن أحدكم إذا صلى وهو نَاعِسٌ لا يدري لعله يذهب يستغفر فَيَسُبُّ نَفْسَهُ».
It is disliked to overburden oneself with worship. If a worshiper feels that sleepiness will overcome him while praying, he should discontinue his prayer or complete it, then lie down and rest lest he unintentionally supplicates against himself because of exhaustion.
