Sleeping During Prayer

SUMMARY: It is permissible to sleep during prayer if one feels drowsy.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "If anyone of you feels drowsy while praying, he should sleep till he understands what he is saying (reciting).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا نَعَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيَنَمْ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مَا يَقْرَأُ

Take a nap when feeling drowsy while praying

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that it is permissible to sleep during prayer if one feels drowsy. This means that if a person finds themselves feeling tired and unable to concentrate while praying, they should take a nap until they are able to understand what they are saying in their prayers. This hadith teaches us the importance of being mindful and present in our prayers, as well as the importance of taking care of ourselves and getting enough rest so we can be alert when we pray. It also reminds us that Allah understands our human limitations and does not expect perfection from us.
