I asked 'A'isha about the Witr (prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and made mention of a hadith, then I said: What did he do after having sexual intercourse? Did he take a bath before going to sleep or did he sleep before taking a bath? She said: He did all these. Some- times he took a bath and then slept, and sometimes he performed ablution only and went to sleep. I (the narrator) said: Praise be to Allah Who has made things easy (for human beings).

عَنْ وِتْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ أَكَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ أَمْ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ قَالَتْ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فَنَامَ وَرُبَّمَا تَوَضَّأَ فَنَامَ قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الأَمْرِ سَعَةً

"I asked 'Aishah: 'How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sleep while he was Junub? Did he perform Ghusl before sleeping or sleep before performing Ghusl?' She said: 'He did both. Sometimes he would perform Ghusl then sleep, and sometimes he would perform Wudu' then sleep.'"

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ نَوْمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ أَيَغْتَسِلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ أَوْ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ قَالَتْ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فَنَامَ وَرُبَّمَا تَوَضَّأَ فَنَامَ

[AI] Narrated Yahya ibn Yamar: I asked Aisha, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sleep while he was in a state of sexual impurity?" She replied, "Perhaps he would perform ablution before sleeping, and perhaps he would sleep before performing ablution. However, he would always perform ablution." She added, "All praise is due to Allah who made ease in religion."

عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ قَالَسَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنَامُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ؟ قَالَتْ لِي رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَرُبَّمَا نَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَوَضَّأُ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الدِّينِ سَعَةً

[AI] A man asked her, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raise his voice when he recited during the night?" She replied, "Yes, sometimes he would raise it, and sometimes he would lower it." He said, "All praise is due to Allah who has made flexibility in the religion." He then asked, "Did he perform the Witr prayer at the beginning of the night?" She replied, "Yes, sometimes he would perform Witr at the beginning of the night, and sometimes he would perform it at the end." He said, "All praise is due to Allah who has made flexibility in the religion."

سَأَلَهَا رَجُلٌ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِذَا قَرَأَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ رُبَّمَا رَفَعَ وَرُبَّمَا خَفَضَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الدِّينِ سَعَةً قَالَ فَهَلْ كَانَ يُوتِرُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ رُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَرُبَّمَا أَوْتَرَ مِنْ آخِرِهِ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الدِّينِ سَعَةً

(Using translation from Muslim 307a)

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ أَكَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ أَوْ يَنَامُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ؟ قَالَتْ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ فَنَامَ وَرُبَّمَا تَوَضَّأَ فَنَامَ قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً

"عَن يَحيىَ بن معمر قَالَ: سُئِلتْ عَائِشَةُ: هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنَامُ وَهُوَ جُنُب؟ قَالَتْ: رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَل قَبْل أَنْ يَنَامَ، وربما نام قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَوَضَّأ".
