اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نَنَامُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَنَحْنُ شَبَابٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رَخَّصَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي النَّوْمِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : لَا يَتَّخِذُهُ مَبِيتًا وَلَا مَقِيلًا ، وَقَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ذَهَبُوا إِلَى قَوْلِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ .
´Ibn Umar narrated:` "We would sleep in the Masjid during the time of Allah's Messenger and we were young men."

1:
The Companions (Sahabah) and the righteous predecessors (Salaf Salihin) used to sleep in the mosque; therefore, there is no doubt regarding its permissibility. The statement of Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma is indeed correct that whoever has a house in the same neighborhood should not spend the night in the mosque. Imam Malik is also among those who hold this view.

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
If a traveler or any other person, due to necessity, sleeps in the mosque, it is permissible, but it should not be made a habit.
Similarly, if a person who has come for prayer falls asleep while sitting and waiting for the congregation, there is no harm in it.
