Chapter on the ruling if the Imam remembers he is in a state of impurity
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 2576 — on the ruling if the Imam remembers he
عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ مَكَانَكُمْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَخَرَجَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, said Allahu Akbar, but suddenly gestured to the worshippers to remain in their places. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house. When he came out, drops of water were dripping from his head. Then he led them in prayer, and after finishing the prayer, he said: "Indeed, I am only a human being; in fact, I was in a state of impurity (junub)."
