حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمِلْتُ مَعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ انْظُرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا رَاكِبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هَذَانِ رَاكِبَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هَؤُلَاءِ ثَلَاثَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى صِرْنَا سَبْعَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ احْفَظُوا عَلَيْنَا صَلَاتَنَا يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَضُرِبَ عَلَى آذَانِهِمْ فَمَا أَيْقَظَهُمْ إِلَّا حَرُّ الشَّمْسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامُوا فَسَارُوا هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ نَزَلُوا فَتَوَضَّئُوا وَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ فَصَلَّوْا رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ صَلَّوْا الْفَجْرَ وَرَكِبُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ فَرَّطْنَا فِي صَلَاتِنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ لَا تَفْرِيطَ فِي النَّوْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّمَا التَّفْرِيطُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا سَهَا أَحَدُكُمْ عَنْ صَلَاةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلْيُصَلِّهَا حِينَ يَذْكُرُهَا وَمِنَ الْغَدِ لِلْوَقْتِ .

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was on a journey. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم took a turn and I also took a turn with him. He said: 'Look!' I said: 'This is a rider; these are two riders; and these are three' until we became seven. He then said: Guard for us our prayer, i.e. the Fajr prayer. But sleep dominated them and none could awaken them except the heat of the sun. They stood up and drove away a little. Then they got down (from their mounts) and performed ablution. Bilal called for prayer and they offered two rak'ahs of (Sunnah) of Fajr and then offered the Fajr prayer and mounted (their mounts). Some of them said to others: We showed negligence in prayer. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: There is no negligence in sleep. The negligence is in wakefulness. If any of you forget saying prayer, he should offer it when he remembers it and next day (he should say it) at its proper time.
