Hadith 4929

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ يَنَامُ أَحَدُنَا وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ ؟ فَقَالَ : " نَعَمْ ، وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ " ، قَالَ نَافِعٌ : فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ، مَا خَلَا رِجْلَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): If a person becomes impure by choice, can he sleep in that state? The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Yes, he should perform ablution and then sleep." Nafi' says that whenever Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) intended to do such a thing, he would perform ablution as for prayer, leaving only the feet.
