The "The sleep of a fasting person is worship" was reported in some books with a weak chain of narration. In its chain is Ma'ruf bin Hassan, who is weak, and Sulaiman bin Amr al-Nakha'i, who is even weaker. A group of Hadith scholars have explicitly stated the weakness of its narrators, so it is weak and not authentically attributed to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.
