Hadith 780
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِي اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ ؟، فَقَالَتْ: "كَانَ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ يَنَامُ".
It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Aswad, his father asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do if he wished to sleep in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah)? She replied: He would perform ablution (wudu) like that for prayer, and then he would sleep.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 778 to 780)
Therefore, whoever wishes to sleep in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) should perform ablution (wudu). This is for the ease of the Ummah; he should sleep after performing ablution, but must perform the ritual bath (ghusl) before the prayer. Otherwise, if due to laziness or negligence he misses the prayer, he will be sinful.
