Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ ذَكَرُوا تَفْرِيطَهُمْ فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَالَ نَامُوا حَتَّى طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ فِي النَّوْمِ تَفْرِيطٌ إِنَّمَا التَّفْرِيطُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ فَإِذَا نَسِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَلاَةً أَوْ نَامَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا وَلِوَقْتِهَا مِنَ الْغَدِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ فَسَمِعَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ، وَأَنَا أُحَدِّثُ، بِالْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ يَا فَتًى انْظُرْ كَيْفَ تُحَدِّثُ فَإِنِّي شَاهِدٌ لِلْحَدِيثِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَا أَنْكَرَ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ شَيْئًا ‏.‏

Ahmad ibn 'Abdah narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Thabit, from 'Abdullah ibn Rabah, from Abu Qatadah, who said: They mentioned their negligence in sleeping: ‘They slept until the sun had risen.’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘There is no negligence in sleep. Negligence is only while awake. If one of you forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, let him pray it when he remembers it; and let him pray it at its appointed time on the following day.’ 'Abdullah ibn Rabah said: 'Imran ibn al-Husayn heard me narrating this hadith and said, ‘Young man, be careful how you relate it, for I witnessed this hadith with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).’ He did not object to anything in 'Abdullah's narration.
