حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ
خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَتَّابٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : مَنْ أَصْبَحَ جُنُبًا فَلَا صَوْمَ لَهُ ، قَالَ : فَأَرْسَلَنِي مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ أَنَا وَرَجُلًا آخَرَ إِلَى
عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ نَسْأَلُهُمَا عَنِ الْجُنُبِ يُصْبِحُ فِي رَمَضَانَ ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا : قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا ، ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ ، وَيُتِمُّ صِيَامَ يَوْمِهِ " ، قَالَ : وَقَالَتْ الْأُخْرَى : كَانَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَحْتَلِمَ ، ثُمَّ يُتِمُّ صَوْمَهُ " . قَالَ : فَرَجَعَا فَأَخْبَرَا مَرْوَانَ بِذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : أَخْبِرْ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ بِمَا قَالَتَا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : كَذَا كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُ ، وَكَذَا كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ : بِأَظُنُّ وَبِأَحْسَبُ تُفْتِي النَّاسَ !.
Abdur Rahman bin Atab says that Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that if a person is in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) in the morning, his fast is not valid. Once, Marwan bin Hakam sent me along with another man to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) to ask: If a person enters the morning in the month of Ramadan in a state of major ritual impurity and has not yet performed ghusl (ritual bath), what is the ruling? One of them said that sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the morning in a state of major ritual impurity, not due to a wet dream but by choice, and he would complete his fast. Both of us returned and informed Marwan of this. Marwan said to me, "Go and tell this to Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him)." Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "That was my opinion, or that is what I thought." Marwan said, "Are you giving people fatwas based on your opinion and assumption?"
