How Should We Understand “the Intoxication of Sleep” in the Words of Imam Ali (AS)?
verified
Concise response by Master Ali Saei (Abdullah Mishkat):
The “intoxication of sleep” (sukr al-nawm) refers to sleep overwhelming the senses, causing a loss of awareness and incoherent speech. It differs from intoxication caused by wine. In this state, a believer’s heart remains sound, but one should not begin prayer while so drowsy, to avoid speaking incoherently.
