[Machine] The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wait for the last prayer of the night until their heads would droop, then they would pray without performing ablution. Abu Dawud added on the authority of Shu'bah, from Qatadah, during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ينْتَظِرُونَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ حَتَّى تَخْفِقَ رُءُوسُهُمْ ثُمَّ يُصَلُّونَ وَلَا يَتَوَضَّئُونَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاودَ زَادَ فِيهِ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to sleep and then get up to pray without performing ablution during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .  

كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَنَامُونَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُونَ فَيُصَلُّونَ وَلَا يَتَوَضَّئُونَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] I have seen the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being woken up for prayer, and I would hear one of them making a noise, and then they would stand up and pray without performing ablution. Ibn Al-Mubarak said: "This is our practice when we are sitting, and Abdul Rahman bin Mahdi and Al-Shafi'i also narrated this hadith, and their narrations in this regard are mentioned in the books of Khalafiyat."  

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُوقَظُونَ لِلصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَسْمَعُ لَأَحَدِهِمْ غَطِيطًا ثُمَّ يَقُومُونَ فَيُصَلُّونَ وَلَا يَتَوَضَّئُونَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ هَذَا عِنْدَنَا وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ وَعَلَى هَذَا حَمَلَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَحَدِيثَاهُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ مُخَرَّجَانِ فِي الْخِلَافِيَّاتِ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I have a need." So he began speaking to him privately until the people or some of the people fell asleep. Then he performed the prayer with them without mentioning ablution."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً فَقَامَ يُنَاجِيهِ حَتَّى نَعَسَ الْقَوْمُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمْ وَلَمْ يذْكُرْ وُضُوءًا  

[Machine] That Abdullah bin Umar used to sleep while sitting and then pray without performing ablution.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَنَامُ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي وَلَا يَتَوَضَّأُ  

[Machine] Whoever falls asleep while sitting does not need to perform ablution, but if they lie down to sleep, they must perform ablution. This narration has been reported from Zaid ibn Thabit, Abu Hurairah, and Abu Umamah. Some of our companions argued with evidence  

مَنْ نَامَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَلَا وُضُوءَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنِ اضْطَجَعَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْوُضُوءُ وَرُوُّينَا فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَاحْتَجَّ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا بِمَا  

[Machine] I was sitting in the mosque in the city when a man embraced me from behind. I turned around and there was the Prophet ﷺ . So I asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, is it obligatory for me to perform ablution?" He replied, "No, until you have put your side (to the ground)." This narration is exclusively reported by Bahru bin Kunayz As-Siqaa'i from Maymun Al-Khayyat, and it is weak and cannot be relied upon.  

كُنْتُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ جَالِسًا أَخْفِقُ فَاحْتَضَنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِي فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ وَجَبَ عَلَيَّ وَضُوءٌ؟ قَالَ لَا حَتَّى تَضَعَ جَنْبَكَ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ بَحْرُ بْنُ كُنَيْزٍ السِّقَاءُ عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ الْخَيَّاطِ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَلَا يُحْتَجُّ بِرِوَايَتِهِ
