حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَمَّالُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ عَبْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَائِ يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَتَی فِرَاشَهُ وَهُوَ يَنْوِي أَنْ يَقُومَ فَيُصَلِّيَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ حَتَّی يُصْبِحَ کُتِبَ لَهُ مَا نَوَی وَکَانَ نَوْمُهُ صَدَقَةً عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1344
It was narrated that Abu Darda' conveyed that the Prophet said: "Whoever goes to bed Intending to wake up and pray during the night, but is overwhelmed by sleep until morning comes. What he intended will be recorded for him, and his sleep is a charity given to him by his Lord:' (Sahih)
