508 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ لِزَائِدَةَ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ يَا أَبَا الصَّلْتِ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ فِي هَذَا شَيْئًا فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَدَخَلَ الْخَلَاءَ، فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ، ثُمَّ نَامَ» حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا بُكَيْرٌ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: فَلَقِيتُ كُرَيْبًا، فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

Commentary
Doing ablution while going to sleep is a virtuous act meriting reward in the next world. (Bukhârî: 247, & Muslim: 2710) However, sleeping in a state of ablution is not mandatory. Mere washing hands and mouth would suffice. Not only this, there is no harm in sleeping without ablution, even when in a state of major impurity necessitating a bath. See Ahâdîth 581-583.
