أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ کَيْفَ کَانَ نَوْمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ أَيَغْتَسِلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ أَوْ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ قَالَتْ کُلُّ ذَلِکَ قَدْ کَانَ يَفْعَلُ رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فَنَامَ وَرُبَّمَا تَوَضَّأَ فَنَامَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 406
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Abi Qais said: “I asked ‘Aishah: ‘How did the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sleep while he was Junub? Did he perform Ghusl before sleeping or sleep before performing Ghusl?’ She said: ‘He did both.Sometimes he would perform Ghusl then sleep, and sometimes he would perfrom Wudu’ then sleep.” (Sahih)
