أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ الْعَابِدُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«يَعْقِدُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى قَافِيَةِ رَأْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا هُوَ نَامَ ثَلَاثَ عُقَدٍ يَضْرِبُ مَكَانَ كُلِّ عُقْدَةٍ عَلَيْكَ لَيْلٌ طَوِيلٌ فَارْقُدْ فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ وَإِنْ تَوَضَّأَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ وَإِنْ صَلَّى انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ فَأَصْبَحَ نَشِيطًا طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ وَإِلَّا أَصْبَحَ خَبِيثَ النَّفْسِ كَسْلَانَ»

✧ “Satan ties three knots at the nape of one of your heads when he sleeps. He strikes the place of each knot saying: ‘You have a long night, so sleep.’ If he wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone. If he performs ablution, one knot is undone. If he prays, one knot is undone. Then he enters the morning energetic and pleasant in spirit; otherwise he enters the morning foul in spirit and lazy.”
