As-salamu alaykum.

Members of my family often ask me to wake them up to pray Fajr because I usually am able to sleep in more than they can and so I am more comfortably awake around that time. Sometimes, especially when I am trying to wake up older family members, I'm met with great anger when trying to wake them up. I was taught at the local masjid when I was younger that if I accepted the responsibility of waking someone up to pray (or of alerting them of the times to make other prayers) and I failed to ensure that they got up, I would accrue a sin on myself as well (obviously, this would not absolve the person who missed their prayer of their own sin). Does anyone know if there is any basis for this?

JazakAllah Khayran for all of your help.
