Hadith 28-24

حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّه، عَن يَعْقُوبِ بْنِ يَزِيد عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِى الوَشَّاء قالَ: سَمِعتُ الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَقُولُ إِذَا نَامَ الْعَبْدُ وَهُوَسَاجِدٌ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَبْدِي قَبَضْتُ رُوحَهُ وَهُوَفِي طَاعَتِي.

(The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Yaqoob ibn Yazid, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ that he had heard Al-Ridha’ (a.s.) say, “When a servant (i.e. a person) falls asleep while he is prostrating, the Blessed the Sublime God will say, ‘I took away the spirit of My servant while he was obeying Me.’”
