Sunan an-Nasai 1607 (Book 20, Hadith 10) #16218
The Benefits of Praying Before Starting Your Day

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that when a person goes to sleep, the Shaitan ties three knots on his head. If he wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone. If he performs wudu', another knot is undone. If he prays, all the knots are undone and he starts his day in a good mood and feeling energetic.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah said: 'When any one of you goes to sleep, the Shaitan ties three knots on his head, saying each time: "(Sleep) a long night". If he wakes up and remembers Allah (SWT), one knot is undone. If he performs wudu', another knot is undone. If he prays, all the knots are undone and he starts his day in a good mood and feeling energetic. Otherwise he starts his day in a bad mood and feeling lethargic'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا نَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَقَدَ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ عُقَدٍ يَضْرِبُ عَلَى كُلِّ عُقْدَةٍ لَيْلاً طَوِيلاً أَىِ ارْقُدْ فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ أُخْرَى فَإِنْ صَلَّى انْحَلَّتِ الْعُقَدُ كُلُّهَا فَيُصْبِحُ طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ نَشِيطًا وَإِلاَّ أَصْبَحَ خَبِيثَ النَّفْسِ كَسْلاَنَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of prayer before starting your day. It tells us that when we go to sleep, the Shaitan ties three knots on our head which can make us feel lethargic and start our day in a bad mood if we don't remember Allah upon waking up. However, if we wake up remembering Allah then one knot is undone; if we perform wudu' then another knot is undone; and if we pray then all the knots are undone so that we can start our day with energy and in a good mood. This hadith teaches us about how important it is to remember Allah throughout our daily lives so that He can protect us from any harm or negative energy from outside sources such as Shaytan or Satan himself!
