English

[2589] 75 – (1109) It was narrated that Abü Bakr said: "I heard Abü Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with them] speaking, and one of the things that he said was: 'If dawn comes when a person is Junub, he should not fast.' I mentioned that to 'Abdur- Rahmân bin Al-Hârith – to his father – and he denied that. 'Abdur-Rahmân set off, and I set off with him, and we entered upon 'Aihah and Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with them both. 'Abdur-Rahmân asked them about that and they both said: 'The Prophet would be Junub in the morning, not as the result of a wet dream, then he would fast.' We went and entered upon Marwân, and 'Abdur-Rahmân mentioned that to him. Marwân said: 'I urge you to go to Abü Hurairah and prove to him that he was wrong.' We went to Abü Hurairah, and AM Bakr was present throughout all that. 'Abdur-Rahmân told him about that and Abfl Hurairah said: 'Did they tell you that?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'They know better." "Then Abü Hurairah attributed what he used to say concerning that to Al-Fadl bin 'Abbâs, and AM Hurairah said: 'That is from Al-Fad!; I did not hear it from the Prophet .' So Abfl Hurairah retracted what he used to say on this issue." I said to 'Abdul-Mâlik: "Did they say that with regard to Ramadân?" He said: "Yes, he () used to wake up Junub without that being the result of a wet dream, then he would fast."
