The Dislike of Sleeping After the Fajr Prayer

وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «نَوْمَةُ اَلْغَدَاةِ مَشُومَةٌ تَطْرُدُ اَلرِّزْقَ وَ تُصَفِّرُ اَللَّوْنَ وَ تُقَبِّحُهُ وَ تُغَيِّرُهُ وَ هُوَ نَوْمُ كُلِّ مَشْئُومٍ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى يَقْسِمُ اَلْأَرْزَاقَ مَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ اَلْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَإِيَّاكُمْ وَ تِلْكَ اَلنَّوْمَةَ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "The morning sleep (after Fajr) is inauspicious; it drives away sustenance, causes paleness and disfigures the complexion, and alters it negatively. It is the sleep of every unfortunate person. Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Blessed and Exalted, distributes sustenance between the rising of Fajr and the rising of the sun, so beware of that sleep."
