Chapter on the Prayer Times (Mawaqit)

وَعَنْهُ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ رَقَدَ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَيْقِظْ حَتَّى آذَاهُ حَرُّ اَلشَّمْسِ ثُمَّ اِسْتَيْقَظَ فَعَادَ نَادِيَهُ سَاعَةً وَ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى اَلصُّبْحَ وَقَالَ يَا بِلاَلُ مَالَكَ» فَقَالَ بِلاَلٌ أَرْقَدَنِي اَلَّذِي أَرْقَدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ قَالَ وَكَرِهَ اَلْمُقَامَ وَقَالَ نِمْتُمْ بِوَادِي اَلشَّيْطَانِ»
And from him, from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I heard Him عليه السلام say: "The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, once slept and his eyes were overcome by sleep, and He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم did not wake up until the heat of the sun troubled him. Then He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم awoke, called his group for a moment, prayed two rak'ahs, and then prayed the morning (Fajr) prayer. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: 'O Bilal, what happened to you?' Bilal replied: 'The one who caused you to sleep, O Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, also caused me to sleep.' He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم disliked staying in that place and said: 'You (Bilal) have slept in the valley of Shaytan.'"
