Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the correct understanding of the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud in Sahih Muslim, in which a man was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who missed the Fajr prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that Satan had urinated in his ear or ears? Is it the Fajr prayer or the night prayer?
Answer:
He slept until morning and caught the Fajr prayer, but he slept through the night without performing the Tahajjud prayer; he did nothing during the night. He said: That is a man in whose ear Satan urinated, and in some narrations, in both his ears, meaning that he made him lazy about performing the Tahajjud prayer at night. Yes.
