The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), relates: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would come out for the Fajr prayer (in such a state) that water would be dripping from his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed head because of the ritual bath (ghusl), and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin the day fasting."
