(TA.) ― -b2- And A sleep in the morning, or first part of day, before sunrise; as also ↓ صَبْحَةٌ ; (S, * K;) or both signify a sleep in the ضُحَى [expl. above]; (A;) but the latter is by some disapproved: such sleep is forbidden in a trad., because it is in a time for the commemoration of the praises of God and then for seeking gain.
