581 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يُجْنِبُ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ وَلَا يَمَسُّ مَاءً حَتَّى يَقُومَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيَغْتَسِلَ»

Commentary
Sleeping 'without touching water' means that he went to sleep without performing either ablution or having a bath. It does not mean that he did not even cleanse the impurity from his body. The better course would be to sleep after performing ablution as we will see in the next chapter.
