Abdullah bin Abi Qays narrates: I asked Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): What did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do when in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity)? Did he (peace and blessings be upon him) perform the ritual bath (ghusl) before sleeping, or would he sleep before performing the ritual bath? She said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do both: sometimes he would perform the ritual bath and then sleep, and sometimes he would perform ablution and then sleep." I said: "All praise is for Allah, who has made room for ease in this matter." Imam Muslim recorded it in his Sahih from Qutaybah, but did not mention all of its supporting narrations and their wordings.
