Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said (about the person who is in a state of janabah and wishes to sleep) that he should perform wudu or tayammum.

Hazrat Umar asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Can I sleep in a state of janabah?" He replied, "You may sleep after performing ablution."

Hazrat Ammar narrates that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted concession to a person in the state of major ritual impurity (junub) that he may perform ablution (wudu) and then eat, drink, and sleep.

Hazrat Ghudayf bin Harith says that I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) whether the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform ghusl of janabah in the early part of the night or in the latter part of the night? She replied that sometimes in the early part and sometimes in the latter part.

Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that it is more appropriate to sleep before taking a bath (ghusl).

It is more appropriate to sleep after performing ghusl.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a need with any of his wives, he would fulfill that need and then sleep without touching water.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that when a man has intercourse with his wife and wishes to do it again, there is no harm in delaying the ghusl (ritual bath).

Hazrat Maymunah narrates that I placed water for the Prophet (peace be upon him) to perform ghusl. He performed the ghusl for janabah in such a way that he tilted the vessel with his left hand and took water from it, washed his palm with it, then poured water over his private parts and washed them, then rubbed his hand on the ground. Then he rinsed his mouth, then put water into his nose, then washed his face and arms. Then he poured water over his head, then poured water over his entire body. Then he stepped back from the bathing place and washed his feet. She says: I brought a cloth for him, but he returned it and said that water is shaken off like this.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the ghusl of janabah in such a way that he first washed both his hands three times, then performed the ablution as for prayer. Then he placed his hand on his hair and ran his fingers through it so that water reached the scalp. Then he poured water over his head three times, then poured water over his entire body.
