There are numerous hadiths reported the sleeping position of our beloved prophet.
For example, Al-Bara’ ibn ‘Azib said, “When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, used to retire to his bed, he would lie on his right side and
then say, ‘O Allah, I surrender my soul to You and I turn my face to You and I entrust
my affair to You and I seek Your support with hope and fear of You. There is no
refuge from You but to You. I have believed in Your Book which You sent down and
Your Prophet whom You sent.’” [al-Bukhari]
In another hadith ‘A’isha said, “The Prophet , may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to pray eleven rak’ats at night. When it was dawn,
he would pray two quick rak’ats and then lie on his right side until
the mu’adhdhin came and gave the adhan.” [Agreed upon]
We know that lying down can be on the back, on the abdomen,
on the left or right side.
