Hadith 5967

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلَ عُمَرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : تُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، " فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ ذَكَرَهُ وَيَتَوَضَّأَ وَيَرْقُدَ " .
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 Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! If I become impure at night and wish to sleep before performing ghusl, what should I do?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wash your private parts and perform ablution as for prayer, then go to sleep."
