443 - Yaʿqūb ibn Ibrāhīm informed us, saying: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ṭufāwī narrated to us, Ayyūb narrated to us, from Abū Qilābah, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If one of you dozes off during his prayer, let him leave and sleep."

=================================

It was also recorded by al-Bukhārī (726) and al-Tirmidhī (232) via Qutaybah with this chain of transmission, and al-Tirmidhī's narration is abridged to only the first part of it.

It was also recorded in extended form, mentioning his awakening, peace and blessings be upon him, from the night and his prayer, and in abridged form: Aḥmad (1911), (1912), and (2196), and in the wake of (2567), al-Bukhārī (138) and (859), Muslim (763): (186), via multiple paths, from ʿAmr ibn Dīnār, with it.

It was also recorded in extended and abridged form likewise: Aḥmad (2164), al-Bukhārī (183), (698), (992), (1198), (4571), and (4572), Muslim (763): (182) through (185), Abū Dāwūd (1364) and (1367), the author in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" (397) and (398), Ibn Mājah (1363), Ibn Ḥibbān (2592) and (2626) via the path of Makhramah ibn Sulaymān, and Aḥmad (2567) and (3194), Muslim (763): (181) and (187), the author in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" (396), Ibn Ḥibbān (2636) via the path of Salamah ibn Kuhayl, both from Kurayb, with it.

It was also recorded in extended and abridged form: Aḥmad (1843), (2194), and (3169), al-Bukhārī (117) and (697), Abū Dāwūd (1357), the author in "al-Sunan al-Kubrā" (399), (406), and (407) via multiple paths, from Ibn ʿAbbās, with it.

The ḥadīth has other paths that do not contain the supporting evidence found in this ḥadīth.

In some of these narrations: "Then he lay down and slept until he snored." Al-Nawawī said in "Sharḥ Muslim" 6/44-45: This is one of his special characteristics, peace and blessings be upon him, that his sleep while lying down does not nullify ablution, because his eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep. So if any impurity had been emitted, he would have perceived it, unlike other people.

Something similar to this wording will come via another path from Kurayb, with it, under numbers (686) and (1121), and see (806), (842), (1620), (1704) through (1709), and (1727).

His statement: "I prayed with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him..." means after he had performed ablution and I performed ablution, as it came explicitly, but the author pointed out through the chapter heading that this abridged version is to be understood in light of that extended one. Al-Sindī said this.

(1) A sound ḥadīth, and this chain is good on account of Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ṭufāwī, for he is trustworthy and good in ḥadīth. Ayyūb is Ibn Abī Tamīmah al-Sakhtiyānī, and Abū Qilābah is ʿAbdullāh ibn Zayd al-Jarmī.
