بَابُ جَوَازِ نَوْمِ الْمَرْأَةِ أَمَامَ الْمُصَلِّي فِي الظَّلَامِChapter on the Permissibility of a Woman Sleeping in Front of the Worshipper in the Dark
Hadith 1971
اُردوEn
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا مُعْتَرِضَةٌ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ، قُلْتُ: أَبَيْنَهُمَا جَدْرُ الْمَسْجِدِ؟ قَالَ: لَا، فِي الْبَيْتِ إِلَى جَدْرِهِ
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray while she was lying on the bed between him and the Qiblah. Ata says: I asked Urwah, "Was there a wall of the mosque between the two?" He said, "No, towards the wall of the house."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these ahadith, it is understood that there is no dislike (karahah) in sleeping in front of someone who is praying. Some weak narrations indicate that sleeping in front of a person who is praying is prohibited; if these reach the level of authenticity, they will be interpreted in the situation where the humility and concentration (khushu‘ wa khudu‘) of the one praying is being affected due to the person sleeping.
