حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ حَدَّثَنَا ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَانْسَلَّ فَذَهَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَتَفَقَّدَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ قَالَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقِيتَنِي وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ حَتَّى أَغْتَسِلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يَنْجُسُ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that he met the Prophet (s.a.w) in one of the streets of Al-Madinah when he was sexually impure. He slipped away and went to perform Ghusl, and the Prophet (s.a.w) noticed he was gone. When he came to him, he said: "Where were you, O Abu Hurairah?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, you met me when I was sexually impure, and I did not like to sit with you until I had performed Ghusl." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Subhan-Allah (Glorious is Allah)! The believer does not become impure."
