darimi:1423Ḥajjāj b. Minhāl > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Hishām b. ʿUrwah from his father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "If one of you feels drowsy while praying, let him sleep until his sleep is gone, for he may be seeking to ask for forgiveness and then end up cursing himself."  

الدارمي:١٤٢٣أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمُ النَّوْمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلْيَنَمْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ نَوْمُهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَسَى يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ فَيَسُبَّ نَفْسَهُ»

ahmad:25661Yaḥyá > Hishām And Wakīʿ > Hishām al-Maʿná from my father > ʿĀʾishah

When one of you dozes in prayer he should sleep till his sleep is gone, for when one of you prays while he is dozing, perhaps he might curse himself if he begs pardon of Allah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1310)   

أحمد:٢٥٦٦١حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ وَوَكِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ الْمَعْنَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا نَعَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلْيَرْقُدْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ النَّوْمُ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا صَلَّى وَهُوَ يَنْعَسُ لَعَلَّهُ يَذْهَبُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيَسُبُّ نَفْسَهُ  

ahmad:26231Yūnus > Ḥammād / Ibn Salamah > Hishām b. ʿUrwah > Abīhiʿan ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one of you feels sleepy while praying, let him lie down until his sleep goes away. For it may be that one of you is seeking forgiveness from Allah, and then he ends up cursing himself."  

أحمد:٢٦٢٣١حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِعَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمُ النَّوْمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلْيَرْقُدْ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ نَوْمُهُ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ عَسَى أَنْ يَذْهَبَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ فَيَسُبُّ نَفْسَهُ
