حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : " سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنْ وِتْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ ، أَكَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ ، أَمْ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ ؟ قَالَتْ : كُلُّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ، رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ ، فَنَامَ ، وَرُبَّمَا تَوَضَّأَ ، فَنَامَ ، قُلْتُ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الأَمْرِ سَعَةً " .
'Abdullah bin Abu'l-Qais reported: I asked 'A'isha about the Witr (prayer) of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and made mention of a hadith, then I said: What did he do after having sexual intercourse? Did he take a bath before going to sleep or did he sleep before taking a bath? She said: He did all these. Sometimes he took a bath and then slept, and sometimes he performed ablution only and went to sleep. I (the narrator) said: Praise be to Allah Who has made things easy (for human beings).
