حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي، فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى قَعَدَ فَانْسَلَلْتُ، فَأَتَيْتُ الرَّحْلَ، فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ وَهْوَ قَاعِدٌ فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ «فَقُلْتُ لَهُ. فَقَالَ: «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يَنْجُسُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) came across me and I was Junub. He took my hand and I went along with him till he sat down I slipped away, went home and took a bath. When I came back, he was still sitting there. He then said to me, “O Abu Hurayrah! Where have you been?” I told him about it. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Subhan Allah! O Abu Hurayrah! A believer never becomes impure.”

আবূ হুরায়রা (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিতঃ তিনি বলেনঃ আমার সাথে আল্লাহর রাসূল (সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) এর সাক্ষাত হলো, তখন আমি জুনুবী ছিলাম। তিনি আমার হাত ধরলেন, আমি তাঁর সাথে চললাম। এক স্থানে তিনি বসে পড়লেন। তখন আমি সরে পড়ে বাসস্থানে এসে গোসল করলাম। আবার তাঁর নিকট গিয়ে তাঁকে বসা অবস্থায় পেলাম। তিনি জিজ্ঞেস করলেন আবূ হুরায়রা! কোথায় ছিলে? আমি তাঁকে (ঘটনা) বললাম। তখন তিনি বললেনঃ ‘সুবহানাল্লাহ্‌! মু’মিন অপবিত্র হয় না’।

ہم سے عیاش نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے عبدالاعلیٰ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے حمید نے بکر کے واسطہ سے بیان کیا، انہوں نے ابورافع سے، وہ ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے، کہا کہ میری ملاقات رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے ہوئی۔ اس وقت میں جنبی تھا۔

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے میرا ہاتھ پکڑ لیا اور میں آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ چلنے لگا۔ آخر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ایک جگہ بیٹھ گئے اور میں آہستہ سے اپنے گھر آیا اور غسل کر کے حاضر خدمت ہوا۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ابھی بیٹھے ہوئے تھے، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے دریافت فرمایا اے ابوہریرہ!

کہاں چلے گئے تھے، میں نے واقعہ بیان کیا تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا سبحان اللہ! مومن تو نجس نہیں ہوتا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Ayyasy] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdul A'la] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Humaid] dari [Bakar] dari [Abu Rafi'] dari [Abu Hurairah] berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berjumpa dengan aku padahal aku dalam keadaan junub. Beliau menggandeng tanganku hingga aku pun berjalan bersama beliau hingga beliau duduk.

Aku lantas pergi diam-diam kembali ke rumah untuk mandi. Kemudian kembali lagi dan beliau masih duduk. Beliau lalu bertanya: "Kemana saja kamu tadi wahai Abu Hurairah?" Maka aku ceritakan pada beliau. Beliau lalu bersabda: "Subhaanallah! Wahai Abu Hurairah, seorang Muslim itu tidaklah najis

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'den şöyle nakledilmiştir: "Cünüp olduğum bir sırada Nebi s.a.v. bana rastladı. Elimden tutu. Bir miktar beraber yürüdük nihayet bir yere oturdu. O esnada yanından sessizce ayrıldım. Eve varıp gusül abdesti aldım. Sonra tekrar Rasulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'in yanına geldim. Hala oturuyordu. Bana nereye gittiğimi sordu. Ben de, anlattım. Bunun üzerine şöyle buyurdu: "Subhanallah! Ya Eba Hureyre Mumin asla pis olmaz

Sahih al-Bukhari 285, Book 5, Bathing (Ghusl), Hadith 37. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) met Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) on one of the streets of Madīnah. Abu Hurayrah was in a state of Janābah (major ritual impurity). Out of his profound respect for the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), he disliked sitting with him and conversing while in that state, believing himself to be impure.

So he discreetly went away and performed Ghusl (ritual bath), then returned and sat down. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked him where he had gone. He informed him of his condition and that he had disliked sitting with him while in a state of impurity from Janābah. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) responded with surprise, saying: "Verily, the believer is pure and never becomes impure under any circumstance—whether alive or dead."

What it teaches

  • Janābah only prevents one from praying, touching the Qur’an, and staying in the mosque. It does not prevent sitting with or meeting other Muslims, nor does it render the person impure.
  • The believer is pure, whether alive or dead.
  • Honoring the people of virtue, knowledge, and righteousness—and keeping their company in the best manner.
  • The legitimacy of a follower seeking permission from their leader before departing—for the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) reproached Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) for leaving without his knowledge. Indeed, seeking permission is a sign of good manners.
  • Saying: Subānallāh (Glory be to Allah) upon astonishment.
  • The permissibility of a person speaking about private matters concerning themselves, when there is a legitimate benefit.
  • The disbeliever is impure, but his impurity is spiritual, stemming from the corruption of his beliefs.
  • An-Nawawi said: "This Hadīth also contains etiquettes, that when a scholar notices something from their student that they fear may contradict correct practice, they should inquire about it, explain the proper way, and clarify the ruling to them, and Allah knows best."
