أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ؟ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ «يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ»

- al-Tirmidhi
هذا أصح من حديث أبي إسحاق كان النبي ينام وهو جنب ولا يمس ماء
machine translationThis is more authentic than the hadith of Abū Isḥāq: "The Prophet used to sleep in a state of janābah without touching water."
in مسند الدارمي, p. 781 - Dāraquṭnī
يشبه أن يكون الخبران أي خبر الأسود بذكر الوضوء قبل النوم على جنابة وحديث أبي إسحاق بأنه لم يمس ماء صحيحين لأن عائشة قالت ربما قدم الغسل وربما أخره
machine translationIt seems that both reports could be authentic (ṣaḥīḥ): the report of al-Aswad mentioning ablution before sleeping while in a state of janābah, and the hadith of Abū Isḥāq saying that he did not touch water, because ʿĀʾishah said: Sometimes he would bring the bathing forward and sometimes he would delay it.
in مسند الدارمي, p. 781 - al-Tirmidhi
حديث الأسود عن عائشة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يتوضأ قبل أن ينام يعني جنبا أصح من حديث أبي إسحاق عن الأسود عن عائشة كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ينام وهو جنب ولا يمس ماءويرون أن هذا غلط من أبي إسحاق
machine translationThe hadith of al-Aswad from ʿĀʾishah, that the Prophet ﷺ used to perform ablution before sleeping, meaning when in a state of major impurity (junub), is more sound (aṣaḥḥ) than the hadith of Abū Isḥāq from al-Aswad from ʿĀʾishah: "The Prophet ﷺ would sleep while in a state of major impurity and would not touch water." They consider this to be a mistake (ghalaṭ) on the part of Abū Isḥāq.
in مسند الدارمي, p. 781 - Dāraquṭnī
والصحيح من ذلك ما رواه عبد الرحمن بن الأسود وإبراهيم النخعي عن الأسود عن عائشة
machine translationWhat is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) in this matter is what ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Aswad and Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī narrated from al-Aswad, from ʿĀʾishah.
