The Meaning of the Hadith: "Satan Urinated in His Ears"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the one in whose ears Satan urinated: did he sleep through the Fajr prayer or through the night prayer?
Answer:
Through the night prayer.
Q: If a person prays 'Isha and then sleeps until Fajr, until the adhan, does that mean Satan urinated in his ears?
The Shaykh: The apparent meaning of the hadith is this; the apparent meaning of the hadith is if he slept and did not pray anything.
Q: If a person intended to get up for the night prayer but did not get up, does it apply to him that Satan urinated in his ears?
The Shaykh: Allah knows best. It may be that if he was determined but was overcome, he may be safe due to his good intention, as sleep overcame him. However, the believer should have an intention and care; he should get up early, set an alarm, and take the necessary measures. He should not stay up late and not set an alarm; that is negligence. But the eager, sincere person, if he has an alarm, sets it and goes to bed early so that he can be energetic. He takes the necessary measures.
