Hadith 5782

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، " أَيَرْقُدُ أَحَدُنَا وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ , إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): If a person becomes impure by choice, can he sleep in that state? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! He should perform ablution and then sleep."
