English Translation
Ya'ish ibn Tikhfah ibn Qays al-Ghifari said: 'My father was from the People of the Suffah. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) directed them, and each man would take one or two persons with him, until I remained as the fifth of five. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Come. So we went with him to the house of Aisha. He said: O Aisha, feed us. She brought a dish of food and we ate. Then she brought a sweet mixture the size of a sand grouse and we ate. Then he said: O Aisha, give us something to drink. She brought a large cup and we drank. Then she brought a small bowl with milk and we drank. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: If you wish, you may spend the night, and if you wish, you may go to the mosque. I said: Rather, we will go to the mosque. While I was lying face down before dawn, a man nudged me with his foot and said: This is a sleeping position that Allah the Blessed and Exalted detests. I looked, and it was the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).'
