حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مُنْبَطِحًا لِوَجْهِهِ، فَضَرَبَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ وَقَالَ: قُمْ، نَوْمَةٌ جَهَنَّمِيَّةٌ.

Mahmud related to us: Yazid ibn Harun related to us: al-Walid ibn Jamil al-Kindi, from the people of Palestine, informed us, from al-Qasim ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman, from Abu Umamah, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed by a man in the mosque lying face down. He struck him with his foot and said, ‘Get up! This is a hellish way to sleep.’

نَوْمَةٌ جَهَنَّمِيَّةٌ
The adjective is formed from Jahannam; its force may be ‘hellish’ or ‘of Hell.’
Is ‘hellish way to sleep’ an appropriate rendering of نومة جهنمية here?
