Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is lying down only done in the house?
Answer:
Yes, in the house, not in the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it in the house, and Ibn 'Umar used to chase them away when he saw them lying down in the mosque. So, lying down in the mosque is not part of the Sunnah.
Q: Is it specific to those who stood in night prayer?
A: It is not specific, no, it is a recommended practice in general, even if one did not stand in night prayer.
