They say that Wahb ibn Munabbih al-Yamani never laid his side to the ground in
thirty years, and that he used to say: “I would rather see a devil in my house than
a pillow, for that is an invitation to sleep.” He had a leather cushion, on, which he
would place his breast when sleep overpowered him. After nodding a few times
he would then make hast to pray.
In one of the ancient scriptures, these words are attributed to Allah, the Almighty:
“My worshiper who is truly My worshiper is he who does not wait for the cock to
crow before he gets up.”
