Chapter on the ruling if the Imam remembers he is in a state of impurity
Hadith 2575
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نُصَلِّي إِذِ انْصَرَفَ وَنَحْنُ قِيَامٌ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ فَصَلَّى لَنَا الصَّلَاةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا حِينَ قُمْتُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ لَمْ أَغْتَسِلْ، فَمَنْ وَجَدَ مِنْكُمْ فِي بَطْنِهِ رِزًّا أَوْ كَانَ مِثْلَ مَا كُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلْيَنْصَرِفْ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ أَوْ غُسْلِهِ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ))
Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were praying with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when suddenly he left while we were in the standing position. When he returned, drops of water were dripping from his head. Then he led us in prayer and (after finishing) said: When I stood for prayer, I remembered that I was in a state of janabah and had not performed ghusl. (In the future, remember that) if any of you feels a sound in his stomach or experiences what happened to me, then he should leave, and after fulfilling his need or performing ghusl, he should return to his prayer.
Hadith 2576
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)."
Hadith 2577
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
(Second chain) Indeed, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) entered during the Fajr prayer and then narrated the entire aforementioned hadith.
Hadith 2578
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا كَبَّرَ انْصَرَفَ وَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَيْ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قَالَ: ((إِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَغْتَسِلَ))
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came for prayer, and when he said Allahu Akbar, he turned (towards his house) and gestured to the people to remain as they were. Then he went home, performed ghusl, and returned with water dripping from his head. Then he led the people in prayer, and when he had finished the prayer, he said: I was in a state of janabah and had forgotten to perform ghusl.
Hadith 2579
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ: أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَصَفَّ النَّاسُ صُفُوفَهُمْ وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَ مَقَامَهُ ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ مَكَانَكُمْ فَخَرَجَ وَقَدِ اغْتَسَلَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَنْطُفُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ
(The second chain) The narrator says: The iqamah for prayer was called and the people formed rows, but when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived and stood at his place, he gestured to them with his hand to remain in their places. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, left, performed ghusl, and when he returned, water droplets were dripping from his head. Then he led the people in prayer.
