وَعَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -{ الْعَيْنُ وِكَاءُ السَّهِ, فَإِذَا نَامَتْ اَلْعَيْنَانِ اِسْتَطْلَقَ اَلْوِكَاءُ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَزَادَ { وَمَنْ نَامَ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ }
Narrated Mu’awiyah (rad): Allah’s Messenger (saW) said: “The eye (when awake) is the string of the anus (to stop air escaping), and if the two eyes sleep the string is untied”. [Reported by Ahmad and At-Tabarani who added, “Whoever sleeps should perform ablution]”
