حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى
عَائِشَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا ، ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ ، ثُمَّ يَغْدُو إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ ، ثُمَّ يَصُومُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ " ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ بِقَوْلِهَا ، فَقَالَ لِي : أَخْبِرْ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ بِقَوْلِ عَائِشَةَ . فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّهُ لِي صَدِيقٌ ، فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تُعْفِيَنِي ، فَقَالَ : عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ لَمَا انْطَلَقْتَ إِلَيْهِ . فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِهَا ، فَقَالَ عَائِشَةُ : إِذَنْ أَعْلَمُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Abdur Rahman says that once I was present in the service of Hazrat Aisha, and while narrating a hadith, she said that sometimes the Prophet (peace be upon him) would be in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) in the morning, so he would perform ghusl (ritual bath) and proceed towards the mosque. At that time, drops of water would be dripping from the blessed head of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and he would make the intention to fast for that day. I narrated this hadith to Marwan bin Hakam, so he said to me, "Go and narrate this hadith of Hazrat Aisha to Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him)." I said to him, "He is my friend; it would be better if you excuse me from this." He said, "I swear, you must go to him." So Marwan and I set out towards Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and narrated this hadith to him. He said, "Hazrat Aisha knows more about the Prophet (peace be upon him)."
