How authentic is the narration mentioned in Abu Shaybah's Musannaf 2/301, verified by Al-Jumu'ah and Al-Lahidan, on the authority of Ibn Omar, that a man asked him, so he replied: "Pray, then sleep," and he repeated that to him three times, and on the third time, he said to him: "Pray, then sleep; may your eyes never sleep"?

Abdullah ibn Umar was asked about sleeping before the Isha prayer, and he commanded sleeping after it. His saying, "May your eyes not sleep," means if a person sleeps before Isha. The narration contains ananah from Al-Amash and a discontinuity between Abu Al-Haytham and Ibn Umar. It is supported by what Malik narrated in Al-Muwatta from Umar ibn Al-Khattab, who wrote to his governors: "Whoever sleeps, may his eyes not sleep," three times, meaning whoever sleeps before the Isha prayer, because sleeping before it is forbidden. This is further confirmed by what Al-Tahawi narrated from Umar ibn Al-Khattab that he wrote: "And do not sleep before it. Whoever sleeps before it, may his eyes not sleep," he said it three times.
