Is it permissible not to wake a sleeping person for prayer if he requests it, and does the Hadith "the sleeper until he awakes" apply to him?

Means must be taken to wake up the sleeping person for prayer. And those with him must wake him up if the time for prayer is pressing, unless that would lead to a harm, as this falls under the general command of enjoining good and forbidding evil.
