Again, the question did not include the specific hadeeth and its words, for the health tips given by the prophet pbuh there is no warning of punishment if someone doesn’t follow it. But sleeping on ones stomach is mentioned to be an act of “na farmani” of Allah !

Hadith words are not words of Prophet (sws) verbatim. They are words of prophet (sws) as understood by the narrator. Just because something is in Hadith, doesn’t necessarily make it a religious injunction. This hadith also falls within elderly advice by the Prophet (sws) in his capacity as an elder of the society and not in His capacity as a Prophet. Following points must be kept in mind while approaching hadith corpus:

For that, please spare some hours in understanding the principles underlying in understanding each of these subject-matters and how they are interlinked with one another:
