حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ؟ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ أَوْتَرَ ثُمَّ أَتَى فِرَاشَهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ أَلَمَّ بِأَهْلِهِ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الأَذَانَ وَثَبَ فَإِنْ كَانَ جُنُبًا أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَإِلا تَوَضَّأَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ

“I asked 'A'sha ᴿᴬ about the nighttime ritual prayer of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ, so she said: ‘He used to sleep at the beginning of the night. Then he would get up, and when it was the time before daybreak, he performed a witr [a ritual prayer with an odd number of cycles]. Then he came to his mattress, and if he had a need, he had sexual intercourse with his wife. When he heard the call to prayer, he sprang up, and if he was in a state of major ritual impurity, he poured water over himself, and if not, he performed the minor ritual ablution and went out to the ritual prayer.”

- 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 الشمائل المحمدية, p. 264 - 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."
