حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ ، يَقُولُ لِزَائِدَةَ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ : يَا أَبَا الصَّلْتِ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ فِي هَذَا شَيْئًا ؟ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَدَخَلَ الْخَلَاءَ فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ ، ثُمَّ نَامَ " .

Commentary:
(1)
Sleeping in a state of ablution (wudu) is a source of reward. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Ablution, Chapter: The Virtue of One Who Sleeps in a State of Ablution, Hadith: 247 and Sahih Muslim, Book of Remembrance and Supplication, Chapter: What to Say When Going to Sleep and Lying Down, Hadith: 2710)
However, sleeping in a state of ablution is not obligatory.
Washing the hands and face is also sufficient; in fact, there is no harm in sleeping without ablution, even if there is a need for a ritual bath (ghusl).
As will be mentioned in Hadiths: 581 to 583.

Benefits and Issues:
To sleep in a state of ablution (wudu) means that not only should one perform ablution and go to bed in the early part of the night, but also, if one wakes up during any part of the night and goes to relieve oneself or for any other need, then it is highly virtuous to perform the Sunnah ablution again before sleeping. This is a most excellent deed.
