Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 9201 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: On the head
وَبِهِ : قَالَ : ذَكَرَ زَمْعَةُ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ إِلَّا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حَرِيرَةٌ مُعَقَّدَةٌ ، فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ ، وَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَيُصَلِّي ، حُلَّتِ الْعُقَدُ ، وَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ وَلَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللهَ ، قَالَ لَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ : عَلَيْكَ لَيْلٌ طَوِيلٌ ، ارْقُدْ ، فَيَعْقِدُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَرِيرَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the head of every servant there is a silken cord tied in knots. When he wakes up and praises Allah, and gets up, performs ablution and prays, all the knots come undone. But if he wakes up and does not praise Allah, Satan says to him: 'You still have a long night ahead, go back to sleep.' So Satan ties the knots of the silken cord upon him."
