Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ 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 قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يَنْجُسُ.
English Translation
Abu Hurayrah said: I met the Prophet (peace be upon him) while I was in a state of ritual impurity (junub). I walked with him until he sat down. Then I slipped away, went to my dwelling, bathed, and came back while he was still sitting. He said: "Where were you?" I said: I met you while I was in a state of ritual impurity and I disliked sitting with you in that state, so I went and bathed. He said: "Glory be to Allah! Indeed, a believer does not become impure."
