Remaining Sunnahs and etiquettes of sleeping and waking

Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: This is likely for those people who remain awake at night, who offer Salah at night, perform the Zikr of Allah, who remain busy in writing books or studying, for the tiredness that accumulates due to staying awake at night is removed through Qaylulah. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 3, p. 435, part 16)

*   Sleeping in the first portion of the day or between Maghrib and Isha is Makruh. (Fatawa Hindiyyah, vol. 5, p. 376)

*   It is Mustahab to sleep in a state of purity (Taharah).

*   And sleep for some time on the right side with the right hand under the cheek whilst facing the Qiblah, and then on the left side. (Fatawa Hindiyyah, vol. 5, p. 376)

*   At the time of sleeping, remember your sleep in the grave, and that you will have to sleep there alone, and nothing will accompany you except your deeds.

*   At the time of sleeping, engage yourself in the remembrance of Allah Almighty; recite Tahleel ‘لَا اِلٰھَ اِلَّااللّٰھ’, Tasbih ‘سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه’ and Tahmeed ‘اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه’ until you fall asleep, because a person will wake
