Hadith 25931

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ , عَنْ عَطَاءٍ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُصِيبُهُ الْجَنَابَةُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ , فَيَنَامُ وَيَسْتَيْقِظُ , وَيُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا , فَيُفِيضُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ , ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that sometimes it would become obligatory for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to perform ghusl at night, and he intended to fast. So he would sleep, and when he woke up, he would pour water over his body and perform ablution.
