Hadith on Prayer: If someone oversleeps and misses prayer

Abu Qatadah reported: It was mentioned to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that some of them missed the prayer while they slept and the Prophet said, “It is not neglectful if missed (unintentionally) because of sleep. Verily, it is only neglectful if missed while awake. If one of you forgets to pray or misses it by sleeping, let him pray it as soon as he remembers.

عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ ذَكَرُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَوْمَهُمْ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي النَّوْمِ تَفْرِيطٌ إِنَّمَا التَّفْرِيطُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ فَإِذَا نَسِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَلَاةً أَوْ نَامَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا
