Sunan an-Nasa'i 1787

Harun ibn ‘Abdullah informed us; he said: Husayn ibn ‘Ali narrated to us, from Za’idah, from Sulayman, from Habib ibn Abi Thabit, from ‘Abdah ibn Abi Lubabah, from Suwayd ibn Ghafalah, from Abu al-Darda’, who attributed it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘Whoever goes to bed intending to rise and pray at night, but sleep overcomes him until morning, will have recorded for him what he intended; his sleep is charity granted to him by his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic.’ Sufyan differed with him.
