حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَعْقِدُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى قَافِيَةِ رَأْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا هُوَ نَامَ ثَلاَثَ عُقَدٍ، يَضْرِبُ كُلَّ عُقْدَةٍ عَلَيْكَ لَيْلٌ طَوِيلٌ فَارْقُدْ، فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِنْ صَلَّى انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ فَأَصْبَحَ نَشِيطًا طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ، وَإِلاَّ أَصْبَحَ خَبِيثَ النَّفْسِ كَسْلاَنَ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Satan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমাদের কেউ যখন ঘুমিয়ে পড়ে তখন শয়তান তার ঘাড়ের পশ্চাদংশে তিনটি গিঠ দেয়। প্রতি গিঠে সে এ বলে চাপড়ায়, তোমার সামনে রয়েছে দীর্ঘ রাত, অতএব তুমি শুয়ে থাক। অতঃপর সে যদি জাগ্রত হয়ে আল্লাহকে স্মরণ করে একটি গিঠ খুলে যায়, পরে উযূ করলে আর একটি গিঠ খুলে যায়, অতঃপর সালাত আদায় করলে আর একটি গিঠ খুলে যায়। তখন তার প্রভাত হয়, উৎফুল্ল মনে ও অনাবিল চিত্তে। অন্যথায় সে সকালে উঠে কলূষ কালিমা ও আলস্য সহকারে। (৩২৬৯; মুসলিম ৬/২৮, হাঃ ৭৭৬, আহমাদ ৭৩১২) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ১০৭১. , ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
