حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی وَبِشْرٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ بَکْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَاخْتَنَسْتُ فَذَهَبْتُ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ کُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي کُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَکَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَکَ عَلَی غَيْرِ طَهَارَةٍ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَا يَنْجُسُ و قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ حَدَّثَنِي بَکْرٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 231
Abu Hudhaifah reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me on one of the streets of Madina while I was sexually defiled. I retreated and went away. I then took a bath and came to him. He asked: Where were you, O Abu Hurairah? I replied: As I was sexually defiled, I disliked to sit in your company without purification. He exclaimed: Glory be to Allah! A Muslim is not defiled. He (Abu Dawud) said: The version of this tradition reported by Bishr has the chain: Humaid reported from Bakr.
