The Shaykh : His statement in this hadith:Sahih al-Bukhari 7395 The condition of "at night" restricts the lying down, so this is a remembrance from the specific remembrances for sleeping at night, as evidenced by his statement: He said: Sunan Ibn Majah 3880Sahih (Darussalam) Because the resurrection occurs at the beginning of the matter, just as people are resurrected on the first day of the Day of Resurrection.
