The reason why it is forbidden to sleep on oneÂ’s belly

Question:
Why is it forbidden to sleep on ones belly? Is it forbidden for both men and women?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

The reason for this is that it was forbidden by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who left no good thing but he told us about it and left no evil thing but he warned us against it. YaÂ’eesh ibn Tihfah al-Ghifaari reported that his father said: Â“I stayed as a guest with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with those of the poor whom he hosted. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came out in the night to check up on his guests, and saw me lying on my stomach. He prodded me with his foot and said, Â‘Do not lie in this manner, for it is a way of lying that Allaah hates.Â’Â” According to another report, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prodded him with his foot and woke him up, and said, Â“Do not lie like this, for this is how the people of Hell lie.Â” (Reported by Ahmad, al-Fath al-Rabbaani, 14/244-245; by al-Tirmidhi, no. 2798, Shaakir edn.; and by Abu Dawood, al-Sunan, Kitaab al-Adab, no. 5040, al-DaÂ’aas edn. Also reported in Saheeh al-JaamiÂ’, 2270-2271)

This is a general prohibition that applies to both males and females, because the basic principle is that rulings apply to both sexes, except in cases where it is indicated that there is a differentiation between the two. And Allaah knows best.

i use 2 sleep like dat after my sit ups 2 keep my stomach flat Laughing

After you do your sit up is better to sleep on your side, I personally find it better that way.

Back to the subjects I cant imagine why any parent would tell their child something like that, the best explanation is that is an act of the people of hell-fire and that Allah swt doesnt like it... that should be reason enough for us to accept it inshaallah. We cant always know the wisdom behind things like this.
