"يَعْقِدُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى قَافِية رَأسِ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا هُوَ نَامَ ثَلَاثَ عُقَدٍ، يَضْرِبُ مَكَانَ كُلّ عُقْدَة: عَلَيْكَ لَيْلٌ طَوِيلٌ فَارْقُدْ، فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَذَكَرَ اللَّه انْحَلَتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِنْ صَلَّى انْحَلَّتْ عُقَدُهُ كُلُّهَا فَأَصْبَحَ نَشِيطًا طيِّبَ النَّفْسِ، وَإلَّا أَصْبَحَ خَبِيثَ النَّفْسِ كَسْلَان".

"When one of you sleeps, Satan ties three knots at the back of his head, striking at each knot: For you is a long night, so sleep. If he wakes and remembers Allah, one knot is untied; if he performs ablution, another knot is untied; if he prays, all his knots are untied, and he becomes energetic and good of soul. Otherwise, he becomes evil of soul and lazy."
