Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Rafi’ narrates that Hazrat Abu Hurairah met the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a street of Madinah while he was in a state of impurity (janabah). Hazrat Abu Hurairah left from there and went to perform ghusl (ritual bath). The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed his absence, and when he returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, “O Abu Hurairah! Where were you?” He replied, “O Messenger of Allah! When I met you, I was in a state of impurity, and I did not like to sit in your company in that condition, so I went to perform ghusl.” The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Subhan Allah! A believer does not become impure.”

Hazrat Abu Wa'il narrates that once Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) encountered the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in a state of impurity (janabah). Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) went away to bathe without meeting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he returned, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A believer does not become impure."

Hazrat Ibn Sirin narrates that it was told to me that once the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw Hazrat Hudhaifah, may Allah be pleased with him, hiding from his sight. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "I have already seen you." He replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I was in a state of impurity (janabah)." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "A believer does not become impure."

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that due to janabah, water, clothes, earth, or any person does not become impure.
