QUICK LESSONS:
Take advantage of one's time in a productive way .

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warns against sleeping too much. He said that if someone sleeps throughout the night until morning, it could mean that they are under the influence of Satan. This is because when someone sleeps too much, they become lazy and unmotivated to do good deeds or worship Allah. It also means that they are not taking advantage of their time in a productive way. Therefore, Muslims should strive to get enough sleep but not overdo it so as to avoid being influenced by Satan and wasting precious time on earth.
