Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدُنَا إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ قَالَ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ‏.‏

Translation

Yazid narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Ishaq informed us, from Nafi‘, from Ibn ‘Umar, from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ‘Messenger of Allah, if one of us wishes to sleep while in a state of major ritual impurity, before performing ghusl, what should he do?’ He replied, ‘He should perform ablution as for prayer, then sleep.’
