“Whilst sleeping there are four postures one can adopt.
The first is that one sleeps on his stomach. It is mentioned in a hadeeth that this position is the sleep of Shaytan i.e one who sleeps this way his sexual desires are aroused and Shaytan can then mislead him into sin.
The second position is sleeping flat on the back. Even though this is permissable one should try to abstain from this as this tends to be the way of the negligent and arrogrant.
The third position is sleeping on the left hand side. One should abstain from this because in this condition the heart becomes negligent.
The fourth position is to sleep on the right side with the right hand under the cheek. This is the Sunnah position. In this position one is not neglegent and it will be easy for him to awake.”
Jazakallah for this post.
