حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ نَامَ وَفِي يَدِهِ غَمَرٌ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ فَأَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone spends the night with grease on his hand which he has not washed away, he can blame only himself if some trouble comes to him.

Explanation:
1:
That is, after eating, wash your hands thoroughly,
because if you do not wash them, the smell of food will remain on the hands,
which will attract jinn and devils towards oneself,
and in such a situation, a person may be afflicted by some calamity,
therefore, special care should be taken regarding this at the time of sleeping.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
After eating, one should wash one's hands.
➋
It is prohibited to sleep without washing the hands after eating food containing ghee (clarified butter) or sweets and the like.
➌
The wisdom in this prohibition is that due to the smell of grease, ants may come onto the bed, and there is a risk that the one sleeping may be harmed or troubled by them. Sometimes, even a mouse or the like may bite, which can prove to be dangerous.
➍
In daily affairs, one should avoid such actions from which there is a risk of harm.
