What is the method of reconciling the hadith: (The two eyes are the seal of the bladder) with the athar of Anas: that the Companions used to sleep and then get up and pray without performing wudu?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith:
The two eyes are the seal of the bladder العينين وكاء السه


The Shaykh : Ah.

The questioner : You mentioned that sleep, sleep in general, invalidates the wudu;

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.

The questioner : Imam al-Shawkani mentions the hadith that Anas used to say: "The Companions used to sleep and then get up and pray without performing wudu." Is this statement correct, and how is it reconciled?

The Shaykh : Who says that if a person sleeps, his wudu is not invalidated?

The questioner : Imam al-Shawkani mentioned it.

The Shaykh : Answer my question, may Allah guide you. Whether Imam al-Shawkani or someone else mentioned it does not concern me; but what concerns me is that you know which of the Muslim scholars says that if a person who has performed wudu sleeps and then wakes up from his sleep, he gets up and prays and his wudu is valid? Who says this?

The questioner : No one says that.

The Shaykh : So what do you have to do with what al-Shawkani says?

The questioner : Okay, is Anas's statement incorrect?

The Shaykh: Correct.

The questioner : Okay, what is understood from it?

The Shaykh : It is understood that this was in the early days of Islam.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And you as well.

The questioner : Peace be upon you

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. Yes.

The questioner : Peace be upon you

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah

The questioner : How are you, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well

The questioner : May Allah bless you. We want to ask you a question, if Allah wills.
