Fact I

I feel like it's Monday.

I really dislike when my naps were originally supposed to be only 45 mins but end up being 3.5 hours -- like today's.

Anyway, speaking of sleep... I am reading this very informative book called "More than 1000 Sunan Every Day and Night" and one of the topics I just read was about awakening from sleep.


FACT: When awakening from sleep, it is sunnah of the Prophet PBUH to perform the following


PROOF and/or REASON:

1. Wipe the effects of sleep from the face with your hands.

Imaam an-Nawawee and Ibn Hajar stated this wiping to be desirable based on the following

When the Messenger of Allah PBUH woke up, he would sit up and rub away the effects of sleep from his face with his hand.


2. Say the du'aa for waking up: (this is the english translation)

All praise is for Allah SWT who gave us life after death (ie. sleep) and to Him is the resurrection.


3. Use a siwaak

When the Prophet PBUH woke up from the night (sleep), he used to clean his mouth with a siwaak

4. Snuff water

When one of you wakes up from sleep, then snuff water three times. [And I found the following very interesting as I did not know of this] For indeed, the Shaytaan spends the night in the upper part of his nose. !!!


5. Wash both hands three times

When one of you wakes up from sleep, he must not dip his hand into a utensil until he washes it three times...
