It is not possible to determine the exact duration of Prophet Muhammad's sleep. The Quran and Hadith do not specify a specific sleep duration for him.
However, we can gain insight into his sleep habits through various accounts:
- He valued sleep: Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of sleep for maintaining physical and mental well-being. He advised people to rest when tired and not to stay up late unnecessarily.
- He slept early: He often retired to bed early, usually after the Isha'a prayer (the last prayer of the day).
- He took short naps: He occasionally took short naps during the day, especially after performing the afternoon prayer.
- He woke up early: He was known for waking up before sunrise to pray Fajr (the first prayer of the day).
While the exact amount of sleep he got is unknown, these accounts suggest that Prophet Muhammad prioritized rest and balanced his daily routine with sufficient sleep.
