APPENDIX: Sleeping etiquettes وَ قَالَ لَا يَنَامُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَ مَنْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ نَائِماً عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَأَنْبِهُوهُ وَ لَا تَدَعُوهُ. And he -asws said: ‘The man should not sleep (prone) upon his face, and the one you see him sleeping upon his face, wake him up and do not leave him’’. [4] وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ النَّوْمَ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي أَ يَنْتَبِهُ مِنْ رَقْدَتِهِ أَمْ لَا.
And Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘Whenever one of you wants to sleep, let him place his right hand under his right cheek, for he does not know whether he will wake up from his sleep or not?’’ [5] ع، علل الشرائع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَلْيَمْسَحْهُ بِطَرَفِ إِزَارِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا يَحْدُثُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ لْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فِي مَنَامِي فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا وَ إِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ.
