حَدَّثَنَا شَاذُّ بْنُ فَيَّاضٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْتَظِرُونَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ حَتَّى تَخْفِقَ رُءُوسُهُمْ ثُمَّ يُصَلُّونَ وَلَا يَتَوَضَّئُونَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : زَادَ فِيهِ شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نَخْفِقُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، بِلَفْظٍ آخَرَ .
Narrated Anas: The Companions during the lifetime of the messenger of Allah used to wait for the night prayer so much so that their heads were lowered down (by dozing). Then they offered prayer and did not perform ablution. Abu Dawud said: Shubah on the authority of Qatadah added: We lowered down our heads (on accounts of dozing) in the day of the Messenger of Allah . Abu Dawud said; This tradition has been transmitted through a different chain of narrators.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
When the system of this world is to be disrupted, at that time there will not remain a single person alive in this world who professes the name of the Creator of the universe.
The existence of this world is established by the blessing of the name of the Originator of the universe, and the more His name is exalted and elevated here, the more peace and security there will be in it.
And when those who invoke His name come to an end, then this universe too will come to an end.

Lexical Explanation:EB
«بَابُ نَوَاقِضِ الْوُضُوءِ» is the plural of «نَوَاقِضِ» (naqis). By this is meant those things which invalidate ablution (wudu).
«تَخْفِقَ» means to lean due to the overpowering of sleep.
«رُؤُوسُهُمْ» is the plural of «رؤس», «راس», which means "head."
Benefits and Issues:
➊ This hadith indicates that as long as a person does not fall into deep sleep, his ablution (wudu) is not invalidated.
➋ Previously, the narration of Sayyiduna Safwan bin Assal radi Allahu anhu has been mentioned in the previous chapter, which indicates the invalidation of ablution by absolute (any) sleep.
➌ In light of this narration, that narration will be interpreted as referring to deep sleep, or it will be said that in this hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam intended a specific type of sleep (drowsiness), and the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum were aware of the type of sleep that invalidates ablution and also of the type that does not invalidate it, and thus did not consider it necessary to clarify or explain further. In any case, it is understood that if a person sleeps while reclining or resting on a cushion, and his consciousness and awareness are lost, then such sleep will invalidate ablution. And generally, consciousness is lost in such a case; otherwise, mere drowsiness does not invalidate ablution.
➍ In the state of reclining or taking support from a cushion, the joints of the body become relaxed. In such a situation, there is a strong possibility of the release of wind from the stomach, and on this basis, as a precaution, it has been ordered to renew ablution. «وَاللهُ اَعْلَمُ بالصواب»
