Just wait... you will here some more.

bummer... i always sleep after Fajr and mind u, its the best sleep ever!

i think u can sleep after the sunrise..if we sleep while its still dark the namaz would be makrooh..correct me if i am wrong

Its Sunnah to lie down after Fajr.

take care

yeah rite i also have heard this that its not good to sleep after fajr prayer instead of that u can read Quran but its good to sleep after tahud prayer

once i selp after fajr prayer and i saw a very horrible and scarey dream i asked some1 and they said that it not good to sleep after fajr prayer

all i know is the best sleep is after fajar namaz especially in ramazan after having sehri and saying fajar prayers you just dont want to get up at all.

Sleep my frineds.

Apparently sleeping after Fajr takes the noor away from your face. And your barkat decreases. Something to do with that time after fajr is the best time for prayers and learning stuff. Based on experience the latter i can say is true.

It may be because the time after fajr tilll sunrise is very important and according to one riwayah ..angels duties/shift changes at this time and at asr time.....

Sufi's used to do different azkar and ibadah during ishraq(time after fajr) and asr time

:bism:

As-salamu alaikun,
I would like to know if there is any verdict concerning sleeping after fajr salat? (subuh)
Shukran. Jazakukmul-lahu khairan.

Answer :

Praise be to Allaah.

As far as a person’s sleeping after praying Fajr is concerned, no text (of Qur’aan or hadeeth) has been reported to indicate that this is prohibited, so the general principle applies (i.e., everything is permitted except that which has been expressly forbidden).

But the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his Companions after praying Fajr was to remain sitting in the place where they had prayed until the sun rose, as is reported in Saheeh Muslim (1/463) in the hadeeth of Sammaak ibn Harb, who said:B “I asked Jaabir ibn Samurah, ‘Did you used to sit with the Messenger of Allaah?’ He said, ‘Yes, frequently. He would not get up from the place where he had prayed Subh until the sun rose. When the sun rose, he would get up. They used to talk about things that had happened during the Jaahiliyyah, and they would laugh and smile.’”**

Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked his Lord to bless his ummah in the mornings, as is reported in the hadeeth of Sakhr al-Ghaamidi, who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O Allaah, bless my ummah in the mornings.’ Whenever he sent out troops or an army, he would send them at the beginning of the day.’” Sakhr was a trader, and he used to send out his caravans at the beginning of the day, and he did well as a result and made money.” (Reported by Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah, with an isnaad in which there is some jahaalah (i.e., one narrator is unknown); corroborating evidence is to be found in a hadeeth narrated by ‘Ali, Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbaas, Ibn Mas’ood and others, may Allaah be pleased with them all.)

For this reason some of the salaf disliked the idea of sleeping after Fajr. Ibn Abi Shaybah reported in his Musannaf (5/222, no. 25442) with a saheeh isnaad from ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr that he said: “Al-Zubayr used to forbid his children to sleep in the morning.” ‘Urwah said: “I do not hear of any man who sleeps in the morning, but I lose interest in that person.”

In summary then, people should make the most of this time which can bring many benefits in this world and in the Hereafter, but if a person sleeps at this time to gain strength to do his work, there is nothing wrong with this, especially if it is not easy for him to sleep at any other time of the day. Ibn Abi Shaybah reported in his Musannaf (5/223, no. 25454) from the hadeeth of Abu Yazeed al-Madeeni who said: “Umar came to Suhayb one morning and found him sleeping, so he sat down until he woke up. Suhayb said: ‘The Ameer al-Mu’mineen is sitting in his place and Suhayb is sleeping!’ ‘Umar said to him: ‘I did not like to disturb your sleep that could be beneficial for you.’”

As for sleeping after ‘Asr, this is also permitted; there is no saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to indicate that sleeping at this time is prohibited.

As for the words, “Whoever sleeps after ‘Asr and loses his mind as a result has no-one to blame but himself,” which are attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), this is a false hadeeth and there is no proof that these words were uttered by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). See: Silsilat al-Da’eefah, no. 39.

And Allaah knows best.

Wow at the different opinion here. :mudhosh:

Now that’s what I have heard.

It’s not like going to sleep straight away after reading namaz. How about reading some surahs like Yaseen and wait for the daybreak before going to sleep. Is that Okay?

I don’t always sleep after Fajr but these days I feel like going to sleep after reading the surahs but been having guilty feeling (not to mention a bad day if I do)

Thanks everyone for your replies. Islamabad thanks for the link. :slight_smile:
