The Difference Between Qaylūlah, Haylūlah, and ‘Aylūlah Question: Someone is asking about qaylūlah and haylūlah: Is the hadith about the qaylūlah authentic? And what is the difference between qaylūlah and haylūlah? Sheikh 'Adnan Al-Masqari answered: As for the qaylūlah, it is resting before Dhuhr, and it is recommended that it includes some sleep. If a person is unable to sleep before Dhuhr, then sleeping after Dhuhr is still considered qaylūlah. As for the hadith: ((قيلوا فان الشياطين لا تقيل)) “Take the midday nap, for indeed the devils do not take a midday nap,” this hadith is weak. However, there are authentic narrations that are sufficient instead. In Sahih Al-Bukhari, there is a chapter titled: القائلة بعد الجمعة “The midday nap after Jumu‘ah.” Under it, Imam Al-Bukhari narrated the hadith of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: ((كُنَّا نُبَكِّرُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ ثُمَّ نَقِيلُ)) “We used to go early to Jumu‘ah, then we would take the midday nap.” And the hadith of Sahl ibn Sa‘d (may Allah be pleased with him): ((كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ الْقَائِلَةُ)). “We used to pray Jumu‘ah with the Prophet ﷺ, then afterward we would take the midday nap.” The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would not usually take the midday nap on Friday except after Jumu‘ah. Since they spent the earlier part of Friday going early to the Jumu‘ah prayer, they would take the nap afterward instead. There is also the hadith of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioning: ((وأدركتنا القائلة في وادي كثير العضاه...)) “The midday rest overtook us in a valley full of thorny trees…” So the qaylūlah was something known among the Arabs, and the Prophet ﷺ approved of it because it brings rest during the time of intense heat. As for the haylūlah, it refers to sleeping after Fajr. It prevents a person from his provision, because that time is a time of remembrance of Allah and glorification of Him, and it is a time when provisions are distributed, as mentioned by Ibn Al-Qayyim. As for the ‘aylūlah, it means sleeping after ‘Asr. It was given this name because it causes weakness in the body, tightness in the chest, and tiredness. It may even affect the mind, unless a person genuinely needs sleep due to illness or travel. In that case, there is no harm in sleeping after ‘Asr. But making it a regular habit is harmful. And Allah knows best. Source: https://t.me/AbulYamman/21827
