Chapter: Sleeping at the end of the day
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1242 — Sleeping at the end of the day
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ خَوَّاتِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: نَوْمُ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ خُرْقٌ، وَأَوْسَطُهُ خُلْقٌ، وَآخِرُهُ حُمْقٌ.
It is narrated from Khawat bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him), he said: Sleeping in the early part of the day is ignorance, sleeping in the middle part is a good habit, and sleeping in the last part is foolishness.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
Work proceeds swiftly in the morning, and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) also supplicated for blessing, saying: "O Allah, bless my ummah in their mornings." Sleeping at noon helps in performing the night prayer (tahajjud), and in the last part of the day, transactions and buying and selling are at their peak; therefore, sleeping at that time is certainly foolishness.
