Hadith 3881

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ , عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النُّجُودِ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَةَ , عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ بَاتَ عَلَى طُهُورٍ , ثُمَّ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ , فَسَأَلَ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا , أَوْ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْآخِرَةِ , إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ " .
´It was narrated from Mu’adh bin Jabal that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “There is no person who goes to bed in a state of purity, then wakes up at night, and asks Allah for something in this world or the Hereafter, but it will be given to him.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
Sleeping in a state of ablution (wudu) is very blessed.
Therefore, one should sleep while in a state of ablution so that if one wakes up during the night, one may ask Allah for something—whether it be guidance, forgiveness, or supplication for healing from illness, deliverance from hardship, or repayment of debt.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
There are many blessings in sleeping after performing ablution (wudu) and reciting the prescribed supplications (masnun adhkar).
One of these is that if a person makes supplication (dua) at any time while lying down during the night, then, insha Allah, it is accepted.
And if he gets up and engages in prayer (salah), then it is light upon light (nur ‘ala nur).
The prescribed remembrance and supplication can be seen in Hadith 5060.
