Allah's Messenger

"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, \"Satan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On\n\nevery knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.' When one\n\nwakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot\n\nis undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in\n\nthe morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart.\"\n\nNarrated Samura bin Jundab:\n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) said in his narration of a dream that he saw, \"He whose head was being crushed with a\n\nstone was one who learnt the Qur'an but never acted on it, and slept ignoring the compulsory prayers.\"\n\nNarrated `Abdullah:\n\nA person was mentioned before the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and he was told that he had kept on sleeping till\n\nmorning and had not got up for the prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"Satan urinated in his ears.\"\n\nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, \"Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the\n\nnearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: \"Is there anyone to invoke Me,\n\nso that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is\n\nthere anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?\"\n\nNarrated Al-Aswad:\n\nI asked `Aisha \"How is the night prayer of the Prophet?\" She replied, \"He used to sleep early at night,"
