Sahih al-Bukhari 287 (Book 5, Hadith 39) #286
Sleeping While Junub

SUMMARY: It is permissible to sleep while in a state of ritual impurity (Junub) after performing ablution.

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I asked Allah's Messenger "Can any one of us sleep while he is Junub?" He replied, "Yes, if he performs ablution, he can sleep while he is Junub".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيَرْقُدُ أَحَدُنَا وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرْقُدْ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that it is permissible for a person to sleep while in a state of ritual impurity known as Junub. This is only allowed if the person has performed ablution or wudu beforehand. The hadith was narrated by Umar bin Al-Khattab who asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ this question and received his answer. This shows us that it is important to ask questions and seek knowledge from reliable sources such as the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself. It also teaches us that we should always perform ablution before sleeping even if we are not in a state of ritual purity so that we can be spiritually clean and ready for prayer at any time.
