Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لَقِيتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى قَعَدَ فَانْسَلَلْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ الرَّحْلَ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ فَقُلْتُ لَقِيتَنِي وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَجْلِسَ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يَنْجُسُ.
English Translation
Ibn Abi Adi told us, from Humayd, from Bakr, from Abu Rafi', from Abu Hurayrah, who said: I met the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while I was in a state of major ritual impurity, and I walked with him until he sat down, then I slipped away and went to my quarters and washed myself, then I came back while he was still sitting, and he said: "Where were you?" I said: "I met you while I was in a state of major ritual impurity, and I disliked sitting with you while impure, so I went and washed myself." He said: "Glory be to Allah! The believer is never unclean."
