أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عِنْدَهُ رِضًا أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا مِنِ امْرِئٍ تَكُونُ لَهُ صَلاَةٌ بِلَيْلٍ فَغَلَبَهُ عَلَيْهَا نَوْمٌ إِلاَّ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَجْرَ صَلاَتِهِ وَكَانَ نَوْمُهُ صَدَقَةً عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, from Malik, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Sa‘id ibn Jubayr, from a man whom he considered acceptable, who informed him that ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) informed him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘If someone has a regular night prayer but sleep overcomes him, Allah records for him the reward of his prayer, and his sleep is charity granted to him.’
