Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ بَلَغَ مَرْوَانُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ الصُّبْحُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَلَا يَصُومَنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ ذَاكَ فَانْطَلَقَتْ مَعَهُ فَسَأَلَهَا فَقَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ احْتِلَامٍ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ فَحَدَّثَهُ فَقَالَ الْقَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَحَدِّثْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَجَارِي وَإِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَسْتَقْبِلَهُ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ فَقَالَ أَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكَ لَتَلْقَيَنَّهُ قَالَ فَلَقِيَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَسْتَقْبِلَكَ بِمَا تَكْرَهُ وَلَكِنَّ الْأَمِيرَ عَزَمَ عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِيهِ الْفَضْلُ.
English Translation
Abu Bakr ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith said: I know this hadith best. He said: It reached Marwan that Abu Hurairah was narrating from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) that whoever is still in a state of janabah at dawn should not fast that day. So he sent to Aisha to ask her about it. They went with him and asked her, and she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would wake up in a state of janabah — not from a wet dream — and then fast. They returned and told Marwan. He said: Go meet Abu Hurairah and tell him. He said: He is my neighbor and I dislike confronting him with what he dislikes. He said: I insist that you meet him. So he met him and said: O Abu Hurairah, by Allah, I disliked confronting you with what you dislike, but the governor insisted. He told him, and Abu Hurairah said: Al-Fadl told me that.
