[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 .  

البيهقي:٥٩٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ نا أَبُو دَاودَ نا شَاذُّ بْنُ فَيَّاضٍ نا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

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

abudawud:200 – Shādh b. Fayyāḍ > Hishām al-Dastawāʾī > Qatādah > Anas

The Companions during the lifetime of the messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) used to wait for the night prayer so much so that their heads were lowered down (by dozing). Then they offered prayer and did not perform ablution. Abu Dawud said: Shu’bah on the authority of Qatadah added: We lowered down our heads (on accounts of dozing) in the day of the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). Abu Dawud said; This tradition has been transmitted through a different chain of narrators.  

أبو داود:٢٠٠ – حَدَّثَنَا شَاذُّ بْنُ فَيَّاضٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْتَظِرُونَ الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةَ حَتَّى تَخْفِقَ رُءُوسُهُمْ ثُمَّ يُصَلُّونَ وَلاَ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ زَادَ فِيهِ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بِلَفْظٍ آخَرَ
