عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ ضَافَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ نَفَرٍ قَالَ فَبِتْنَا عِنْدَهُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَطَّلِعُ فَرَآهُ مُنْبَطِحًا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَرَكَضَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ فَأَيْقَظَهُ وَقَالَ هَذِهِ ضِجْعَةُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tufayl (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was a guest of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) along with a group. We spent the night with him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us during the night and found me lying on my stomach. He woke me up and said: "This is the way of lying down of the people of Hell."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sleeping on the stomach is impermissible; the best is to sleep on the right side.
