حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَنِيعٍ ، نا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، نا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، أَوْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاةِ ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ غَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ " . صَحِيحٌ.
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) became in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) and intended to sleep, he would perform ablution (wudu) as he did for prayer. But if he intended to eat in that state, he would wash his hands and then eat. This narration is authentic.
