Shaikh al-Albaanee رحمه الله mentioned in al-Dha`eefah (39):
On the authority of `Aaishah رضي الله عنها, that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Whoever sleeps after `Asr and loses his
mind, then let him blame no one but himself.”
Shaikh al-Albaanee graded this Hadeeth as “Da`eef” (Weak).
Ibn Hibbaan mentioned this narration in his book:
“al-Dhu`afaa’ wal-Majrooheen” (1/283) (the book of weak narrations).
Ibn al-Jawzee mentioned it in his book: “al-Maudhoo`aat”
(3/69) (the book of weak and fabricated narrations) and said: “it is not
authentic”.
Shaikh al-Albaanee رحمه الله said:
Marwaan [ibn Muhammad al-Asadi] said: “I said to Layth ibn
Sa`d – when I saw him sleep after `Asr during the month of Ramadhaan: “O Abu al-Haarith!
Why are you sleeping after `Asr when Ibn Lahee`ah has told us … (and he
mentioned this narration)?” Al-Layth said: ❝I do not give up something that is good for me
because of the Hadeeth of Ibn Lahee`ah from `Aqeel!❞”
I (al-Albaanee) say: ❝I am very much impressed by this answer of al-Layth,
because it is indicative of his understanding and his knowledge (about the
Deen), and no wonder, for he was one of the Imaams of the Muslims and amongst
the well-known Fuqahaa’. I know that many of the Shaikhs today do not sleep
after `Asr, even if they are in a need to do that. If it is said to them that
the Hadeeth concerning that is Da`eef, they will immediately respond by saying:
“Weak Ahaadeeth should be followed with regard to virtuous actions”.
Look at the difference between the understanding of the Salaf
(earlier generations) and the knowledge of the Khalaf (later generations).❞
