Sahih al-Bukhari 286 (Book 5, Hadith 38) #285
Sleeping While Junub

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to sleep while he was in a state of ritual impurity, but he would perform ablution before going to bed.

Narrated Abu Salama: I asked 'Aisha "Did the Prophet use to sleep while he was Junub?" She replied, "Yes, but he used to perform ablution (before going to bed).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، وَشَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَرْقُدُ وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Perform wudu before sleeping
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to sleep while he was in a state of ritual impurity, known as hadath. However, before going to bed, the Prophet ﷺ would always perform ablution or wudu. This teaches us that even though we may be in a state of ritual impurity, we should still take care of our hygiene and cleanliness by performing wudu before sleeping. It also shows us the importance of following the Sunnah and emulating the example set by our beloved Prophet ﷺ.
