Brent, as I recall the 21 g was "the weight of life" - not sleep. And not ALL outlets were sealed for the weighings.
To Samiya: "NAFS is a physical object" means it is part of the observable physical measurements we carry today, or 1500 years ago? is it composed of the 'atoms' of our present physical illusions? furthermore are only "wake" body functions included in NAFS, because intestinal functions do not stop when sleeping, air intake is undisturbed, saliva is running, dreams are pressing and - most important - an alarm clock, or a kiss wakes you up (does it bring your NAFS back from Allah?) I just try to understand - and follow - your words.
