119. There is a similar report (as no. 118) narrated via Abū Ishāq. (Da'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This (permissibility of sleeping without taking Ghusl for Junub is the opinion of Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab and others.
More than one person has reported from Al-Aswad, from 'Āishah, from the Prophet ﷺ: "That he would perform Wudū' before sleeping."
This is more correct than the Hadīth of Abū Ishāq from Al-Aswad.[1]
This Hadīth has been reported from Abū Ishāq by Shu'bah, Ath-Thawrī and others, and it is their view that this mistake is from Abū Ishāq.[2]

Commentary
It is agreed upon by consensus that taking a bath for a sexually impure person before going to sleep is not compulsory, but ablution is a controversial issue. Because both ways are proven from the sayings and actions of the Prophet ﷺ; as for his usual good example, it was to perform ablution prior to sleep; whereas sleeping without ablution is allowed too. Ablution prior to sleep is liked and preferred. The requisite of purification and cleanliness is also to make ablution prior to sleep.
