The questioner : They are negligent regarding the Fajr prayer, and when you discuss it with them, they cite the hadith of Safwan...
The Shaykh : I ask him: Say, if there were an exam behind you, would your sleep become light, or would it remain heavy?
The questioner : The exam comes once a year.
The Shaykh : Well, the point is that at this time, you are required to wake up before Allah. In reality, if a person sleeps early, it is easy for him to get up early. But many people stay up late, meaning they spend half the night without sleeping. If he is a young man, he is usually a heavy sleeper. A person must take precautions for himself.
