Sunan Abi Dawud 447 (Book 2, Hadith 57) #20738
Offering Prayer After Oversleeping or Forgetting

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions travelling to al-Hudaybiyyah. Bilal was appointed to keep watch, but he overslept until sunrise. The Prophet (PBUH) then instructed them to offer prayer as usual and said that anyone who oversleeps or forgets should do the same.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: We proceeded with the Messenger of Allah on the occasion of al-Hudaybiyyah. The Messenger of Allah said: Who will keep watch for us? Bilal said: I (shall do). The overslept till the sun arose. The Prophet awoke and said: Do as you used to do (ie offer prayer as usual). Then we did accordingly. He said: Anyone who oversleeps or forgets (prayer) should do similarly.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَنْ يَكْلَؤُنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ بِلاَلٌ أَنَا ‏.‏ فَنَامُوا حَتَّى طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ افْعَلُوا كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَفَعَلْنَا ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَكَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلُوا لِمَنْ نَامَ أَوْ نَسِيَ
