Overcoming sleep and laziness in prayer, and whether this is among the characteristics of hypocrisy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What happens to a person in terms of struggling against sleep and exerting himself to get up for prayer, especially the Fajr and 'Asr prayers, because they come after sleep? Is the laziness one feels in getting up for them at first, and then heading to the mosque afterwards, is this among the characteristics of the people of hypocrisy?

Answer:
No, this is among the characteristics of the people of the covenant, but this is among the characteristics of human beings, the characteristics of human beings. Sleep is among the characteristics of human beings. You must resolve yourself and strengthen it, and accustom it. If the soul gets accustomed to going to the mosque and praying, it will get used to this. But if you sleep one day and go another day, and sleep one day and sleep overcomes you, accustom yourself. If you accustom it, it will accustom you. Yes.
