Abu Dawud Book 1, Hadith Number 223.

Chapter : A person who is sexually defiled is permitted to eat anything before washing.

Narated By N/A : This tradition has been narrated on the authority of al-Zuhri through a different chain. It adds: If he intends to eat while he is defiled, he should wash both his hands.

Abu Dawud said: Ibn Wahb narrated this tradition on the authority of Yunus. He described the fact of eating as the statement of ‘Aisha (not the saying of the Prophet). It has also been narrated through another chain on the authority of Ihn al-Mubarak. He narrated it from ‘Urwah or Abu Salamah. Al-Awza’i narrated it from Yunus on the authority of al-Zuhri from the Prophet (may peace be upon him) as narrated by Ibn al-Mubarak.
