حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ الْغَزَّالُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ وَمَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِذَا أَتَيْتَ فِرَاشَکَ طَاهِرًا وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ تَوَضَّأْ وُضُوئَکَ لِلصَّلَاةِ وَسَاقَ مَعْنَی مُعْتَمِرٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5048
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by al-Bara bin Azil from the prophet ﷺ to the same effect through a different chain of narrators. One transmitter said: when you go to your bed while you are in the state of purification. The other said: Perform ablution like the ablution for prayer. He then transmitted the tradition to the effect as Mu’tamir transmitted.
