حَدَّثَنَا ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، زَادَ : وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ ، غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، فَجَعَلَ قِصَّةَ الْأَكْلِ قَوْلَ عَائِشَةَ مَقْصُورًا ، وَرَوَاهُ صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، كَمَا قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ ، قَالَ : عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، أَوْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، وَرَوَاهُ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَمَا قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ .
This Tradition has been narrated on the Authority of al-Zuhri through a different chain. It adds: If he intends to eat while he is defiled, he should wash both his hands. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Wahb narrated this tradition on the authority of Yunus. He described the fact of eating as the statement of Aishah (not the saying of the prophet). It has also been narrated it from Urwah or Abu Salamah. Al-Awza’I narrated it from Yunus on the Authority of Al-Zuhri from the prophet ﷺ as narrated by Ibn al-Mubarak.

Benefits and Issues:
In Sunan an-Nasa'i, drinking is also mentioned along with eating. [سنن نسائي‘حديث : 258]
From this, it is understood that a person in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) should wash his hands before eating or drinking. However, in normal circumstances, if the hands are clean, it is not obligatory to wash the hands before eating or drinking, though it is certainly recommended (mustahabb/preferred).
