حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَکْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقِيَهُ فِي بَعْضِ طَرِيقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَانْخَنَسْتُ مِنْهُ فَذَهَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ جَائَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ کُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ کُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَکَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَکَ وَأَنَا عَلَی غَيْرِ طَهَارَةٍ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَا يَنْجُسُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 283
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet came across me in one of the streets of Medina and at that time I was Junub. So I slipped away from him and went to take a bath. On my return the Prophet said, "O Abu Huraira! Where have you been?" I replied, "I was Junub, so I disliked to sit in your company." The Prophet said, "Subhan Allah! A believer never becomes impure."
