Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer while in a state of sexual impurity (junub). When they came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they mentioned this to him (peace and blessings be upon him) as well. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) summoned him and asked him about it, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, I feared that the cold would kill me, and Allah Almighty has said: 'Do not kill yourselves; indeed, Allah is Merciful to you.'" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent at what he said.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Yusuf bin Khalid al-Samti, who is a kadhdhab (liar).
