The Book of Etiquette of Traveling
Etiquette of Staying, Riding, Encamping at night and sleeping during the Journey and other matters relating to the Journey
وَعَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِذَا كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَعَرَّسَ بِلَيْلٍ اضْطَجَعَ علي يَمِينِهِ وَإِذَا عَرَّسَ قُبَيْلَ الصُّبْحِ نَصَبَ ذِرَاعَهُ، وَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ علي كَفِّهِ" ((رَوَاهُ مُسلم)). قَالَ العلماء: إنما نصب ذراعه لئلا يستغرق في النوم، فتفوته صلاة الصبح عَنْ وقتها أو عَنْ أول وقتها.
Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) encamped at night during a journey, he would lie down on his right side, and when he stayed a little before dawn he would raise his forearm and place his head on the palm of his hand. [Muslim].
