The Sunnan of Waking Up

                                       Waking up in Prophetic way
1- Wiping the effect of sleep from the face with hands:

Immam Nawawee and Ibn Hajar recommended this act referring to a Hadith narrated, "When the Messenger of Allah(SAWW) woke up, he should sit up and rub away the effect of sleep from his face with his both hand”.(Al Bukhari 183)

2- Saying the Du’aa (suplication) of waking up:

"الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ".

 “All praise and thanks to Allah Who gave us life after death(sleep), and all resurrection will be to Him”.

 (Al Bukhari 6312)

3- Using Sewak:

Whenever the Prophet (SAWW) woke up, even

at night; he used the Siwak to clean his teeth.

(Al Bukhari 245)

The wisdom behind this Sunnah: is that the Siwak freshen up and activates the body and eliminates bad odours.

4- Snuff water:

 When one of you wakes up from sleep then snuff water three times.

“ For indeed Shaitan spends the night in the upper part of his nose”.

( Al Bukhari 3295, Al Muslim 245)

5- Wash both hands three times:

“ When one of you wakes up from sleep he must not dip his hands into an utensil until he washes his hands three times. “(Al Muslim 278)

6- Perform Wudu:

 Narrated Abu Huraira, Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said:

"Satan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep. When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone and when one prays, the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart."

(Sahih Bukhari - Book 21, Hadith 243)
