Home Hadith Hadith 34169
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Shaytan ties three knots at the back of your head
when you sleep, and he seals the place of each knot with 'You have a
long night ahead, so sleep.' If you wake up and remember Allah, a knot
is untied. If you do wudu, a knot is untied. If you pray, a knot is
untied, and morning finds you lively and in good spirits, and if not,
morning finds you in bad spirits and lazy."
Muwatta Malik Book 9, Hadith 104

Yahya related to me from Malik from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl
ibn Malik that his father heard Talha ibn Ubaydullah say, "Once one of
the people of Najd came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace. He had dishevelled hair and although his voice
could be heard we could not make out what he was saying until he drew
nearer and then we found he was asking about Islam. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, 'There
are five prayers during the day and the night.' He said, 'Do I have to
do anything else besides that?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, added, 'And fasting the month of
Ramadan.' He said, 'Is there anything else I have to do?' He said,
'No, except what you do of your own accord.' The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioned zakat. The man
said, 'Is there anything else that I have to do?' He said, 'No, except
what you do of your own accord.'
