Is the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not woken from sleep one of his specific characteristics?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : We passed over the story of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding his sleeping through the Fajr prayer, where it was said that he was not woken up, but rather he would wake up on his own, because we do not know what happens to him in his sleep. I say: Have you seen anyone else with this among his specific characteristics (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer : No, this is not one of his specific characteristics; this is related to the Companions. It is one of their etiquettes with him. For this reason, some people, with their father or with a person dear to them, would not wake them except for something obligatory.
