أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، نا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، أنا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُوقَظُونَ لِلصَّلاةِ ، حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَسْمَعُ لأَحَدِهِمْ غَطِيطًا ثُمَّ يُصَلُّونَ وَلا يَتَوَضَّئُونَ " . قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ : هَذَا عِنْدَنَا وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I have seen the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); they would be made to stand for prayer, to the extent that sometimes I would even hear some of them snoring, but then they would get up and perform the prayer and would not perform ablution again. The narrator named Ibn Mubarak stated this: "According to us, this ruling is when they would fall asleep while sitting." This hadith is authentic.
