Bayhaqi 975 — The report about one in a state of janabah sleeping

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ثنا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَلْحَانَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ثنا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ⦗٣١١⦘ الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، وَكَانَ لِي جَارًا وَصَدِيقًا عَمَّا حَدَّثَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ قَالَتْ: " كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُحْيِي آخِرَهُ، ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ حَاجَةٌ قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ، ثُمَّ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً، فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ النِّدَاءِ الْأَوَّلِ " قَالَتْ: " وَثَبَ فَلَا وَاللهِ مَا قَالَتْ: قَامَ وَأَخَذَ الْمَاءَ وَلَا وَاللهِ مَا قَالَتْ: اغْتَسَلَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ مَا تُرِيدُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَ الرَّجُلِ لِلصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ". أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى، وَأَحْمَدَ بْنِ يُونُسَ دُونَ قَوْلِهِ " قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً " وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ الْحُفَّاظَ طَعَنْوا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةِ وَتَوَهَّمُوهَا مَأْخُوذَةً عَنْ غَيْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَأَنَّ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ رُبَّمَا دَلَّسَ فَرَأَوْهَا مِنْ تَدْلِيسَاتِهِ وَاحْتَجُّوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِرِوَايَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بِخِلَافِ رِوَايَةِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ.
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would sleep in the first part of the night and stay awake in the last part of the night. Then, if he (peace and blessings be upon him) had a need with his wife, he would fulfil it, and then sleep before touching water. When the first call (adhan) was made, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would spring up at once. By Allah, Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) did not say that he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and took water, and by Allah, Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) did not say that he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the ritual bath, but I know what Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) meant. If he (peace and blessings be upon him) had no need, he would perform an ablution like the ablution for prayer, then offer two rak'ahs.
The huffaz (hadith masters) criticised the wording "before touching water" and considered it to have been taken from someone other than al-Aswad; Abu Ishaq would sometimes commit tadlis (concealing a link in the chain), so they regarded it as one of his tadlis, and they cited as evidence the narration of Ibrahim al-Nakha'i and Abd al-Rahman bin al-Aswad from al-Aswad, which differs from the narration of Abu Ishaq.
