حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنِي الْمُبَارَكُ عَ
نِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ ثَلَاثُ عُقَدٍ بِحَرِيرٍ إِذَا بَاتَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنْ هُوَ تَعَارَّ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ فَإِنْ قَامَ فَعَزَمَ فَصَلَّى انْحَلَّتْ الْعُقَدُ جَمِيعًا وَإِنْ هُوَ بَاتَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ أَصْبَحَ وَعَلَيْهِ الْعُقَدُ جَمِيعًا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ يُونُسَ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ

English Translation
Hashim ibn al-Qasim narrated to us, al-Mubarak narrated to me, from al-Hasan, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Upon the son of Adam are three knots tied with silk when he sleeps. If he wakes up and remembers Allah (عز وجل), one knot is untied. If he performs wudu', the second is untied. If he prays, the third is untied, and he wakes up energetic and in good spirits. Otherwise, he wakes up lazy and in bad spirits.'
