Musnad Ahmad 892 — Musnad of Ali ibn Abi Talib
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ ، عَنْ جَدَّةٍ لَهُ وَكَانَتْ سُرِّيَّةً لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : " كُنْتُ رَجُلًا نَئُومًا ، وَكُنْتُ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَغْرِبَ وَعَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي نِمْتُ ثَمَّ ، قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ : فَأَنَامُ قَبْلَ الْعِشَاءِ ، فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَرَخَّصَ لِي " .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I used to feel very sleepy, so much so that when I would perform the Maghrib prayer and my clothes were on me, I would sleep right there. I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted me to sleep before ‘Isha (on the condition that I would wake up for the ‘Isha prayer).
