Musnad Abi Ya'la 3843 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَرَأَى حَبْلًا مَمْدُودًا بَيْنَ سَارِيَتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالُوا : لِفُلَانَةَ ، تُصَلِّي ، فَإِذَا أَعْيَتْ تَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لِتُصَلِّ مَا عَقَلَتْ ، فَإِذَا خَشِيَتْ أَنْ تُغْلَبَ فَلْتَنَمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and saw a rope stretched between two pillars. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is this?" The people said that it is for such-and-such a woman; she prays (voluntary) prayer, and when she gets tired she holds on to it. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A person should pray as long as he remains alert, and when he fears being overcome (by sleep or fatigue), he should sleep."
