Riyad as-Salihin 146 (Book) #38531
Praying with Energy and Resting When Tired

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that one should pray as long as they are able to, and when feeling tired, it is better to rest.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet came into the mosque and noticed a rope stretched between two poles. He enquired, "What is this rope for?" He was told: "This is Zainab's rope. When during her voluntary prayer, she begins to feel tired, she grasps it for support". The Prophet said, "Untie it. You should perform prayers so long as you feel active. When you feel tired, you should go to sleep". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ دخل النبي المسجد فإذا حبل ممدود بين الساريتين فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏ما هذا الحبل‏"‏ قالوا ‏:‏ هذا حبل لزينب، فإذا فترت تعلقت به‏.‏ فقال النبي ‏"‏ حلوه، ليصل أحدكم نشاطه فإذا فتر فليرقد‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
