<![CDATA[This study focuses on the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (SAW) regarding qailullah (a midday nap). Fundamentally, qailullah is a Sunnah recommended by the Prophet (SAW). The hadith states, "Take a midday nap (qailullah), for indeed, devils do not take a midday nap." This raises the question of the hadith's quality. The objective of this study is to examine the validity of the hadith. This is a qualitative study based on library research, utilizing the takhrij al-hadith method to assess the hadith's quality. The findings indicate that, in terms of quantity, the hadith is classified as ahad (solitary narration), as it is narrated by only a few narrators at each level of the chain of transmission (tabaqah). Regarding quality, it is classified as hasan li-ghayrihi (sound due to external corroboration). The text of the hadith can be translated as: "The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'Take a midday nap, for indeed, devils do not take a midday nap.'" While the versions narrated by Imam al-Tabarani and Abu Nu'aym are deemed da'if (weak) due to the presence of weak and majhul (unknown/unidentified) narrators, the existence of another hadith on the same theme narrated by Imam al-Bukhari elevates its status to hasan li-ghayrihi. Consequently, the hadith is valid to serve as a religious argument (hujjah).]]>
