[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , narrated that the Prophet ﷺ passed by Haula bint Tuwaiyat. It was said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, she prays a lot at night. When she gets sleepy, she ties herself to a rope and holds onto it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let her pray as much as she can handle. And when she feels sleepy, let her sleep."
