Ibn Masud said: "Falling asleep when remembering Allah is from Shaytan, if you want you can test this: when you lie down and want to fall asleep, try remembering Allah." (Bukhari)

Can someone please explain this to me?

lol. I'll try.

I think what it means is that Shaytan hates it when you remember Allah. So if you were to lie down in order to sleep, all you would have to do is try to remember Allah. Shaytan would quickly use his tricks to make you fall asleep.....so that you don't remember Him.

But maybe somebody else has got a better explanation. ^o)
 
Paid in Full.

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper,
and he handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on.
After his mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:

For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: 50c
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: 25c
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00

Total owed: £14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see
the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen,
turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me: No Charge.

For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: No Charge.
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: No Charge.

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead: No Charge.
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose: No Charge,
Son When you add it up, the cost of my love is: No Charge.

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears
in his eyes, and he looked straight up at his mother and said, 'Mom, I sure do love you."
And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote:
"PAID IN FULL".

this reminds me of the story i read some where... it was smewhat like this..

a man came to the imam (don't remember the name) and told his problem that he cant sleep at nights.. the imam told him to pray nafils the whole night and that the problem will be cured by this.. next day he came looking very fresh and told the imam that just after few nafils he was gone to sleep.. imam said your falling to sleep was from shaytan. so instead of sleeping u should had tried to get rid of that shaytan who didn't want u to pray in front of Allah
