Napping (Qailulah) is recommended due to the hadith: "Take a midday nap, for the devils do not take midday naps," which Al-Albani graded as hasan (good) in its chain of transmission, and because it strengthens one for acts of obedience and night vigil (Tahajjud). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to take a midday nap, and he would sometimes nap at the homes of some of his Companions.
