Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not recite the Qur'an while you are in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah)." I asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite the Qur'an in every state, except when in janabah?
Imam al-Bazzar recorded it; the chains of both contain a narrator, Abu Malik al-Nakha'i, on whose weakness the hadith scholars are agreed.
