Summary
The first hadith in the chapter on the ablution of one who sleeps when he rises for prayer. Yahya transmits from Malik from Abu al-Zinad from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ told one who wakes from sleep to wash his hand before putting it into his ablution water, because he does not know where his hand spent the night. The editor cites al-Bukhari, Ibn Hibban, Ahmad, al-Shafi'i and al-Bayhaqi, and refers to al-Tamhid. 1
