وَبِهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
يَعْقِدُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى قَافِيَةِ رَأْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا نَامَ ثَلَاثَ عُقَدٍ، فَإِنْ قَامَ فَذَكَرَ اللهَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِذَا قَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ انْحَلَّتْ عُقَدُهُ كُلُّهَا، فَيُصْبِحُ نَشِيطًا طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ. وَإِنْ أَصْبَحَ وَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ أَصْبَحَ كَسْلَانَ خَبِيثَ النَّفْسِ لَمْ يُصِبْ خَيْرًا
Translation
Chain of narrators
- Rasūl Allāh ﷺ
✧ Shaytan ties three knots on the back of the head of any one of you when he sleeps. If he gets up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; if he gets up and performs wudu, one knot is undone; and if he gets up to pray, all his knots are undone. So he becomes active and good in spirit. But if he wakes up without doing that, he becomes lazy and bad in spirit, having attained no good.
