Arabic text

584 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ، تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ»

Commentary

This Hadith has a greater degree of soundness than the ones quoted in the previous chapter. Nevertheless, the earlier Ahâdith are also without any blemish. Reconciliation between both versions could be achieved by interpreting the action of performing the ablution as Desirable (Mustahab) and that of sleeping without performing the ablution as simply Permissible (Mubâh).
