حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ , عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ خَالِد , عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِث ، قَالَ : إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ , قَالَ بَلَغَ مَرْوَانُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ الصُّبْحُ وَهُوَ جُنُب , فَلَا يَصُومَنَّ يَوْمَئِذ , فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ ذَاكَ ؟ فَانْطَلَقَتْ مَعَه , فَسَأَلَهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ احْتِلَام , ثُمَّ يَصُومُ " فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ , فَحَدَّثَهُ , فَقَال : َالْقَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ , فَحَدِّثْه , َقَالَ : إِنَّهُ لَجَارِي , وَإِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَسْتَقْبِلَهُ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ , فَقَال : َأَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكَ لَتَلْقَيَنَّهُ , قَال : َفَلَقِيَهُ , فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَسْتَقْبِلَكَ بِمَا تَكْرَهُ , وَلَكِنَّ الْأَمِيرَ عَزَمَ عَلَيَّ , قَالَ : فَحَدَّثْتُهُ , فَقَال : َحَدَّثَنِيهِ الْفَضْلُ.
Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman 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. When Marwan found out, he once sent me with another man to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to ask: If a person enters the morning in Ramadan in a state of major ritual impurity and has not yet performed ghusl, what is the ruling? She replied: 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 told me to inform Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) of this. I said that he is my neighbor, and I do not like to present anything unpleasant before him. But Marwan made me swear, so I met him and told him: I did not want to mention this before you, but the governor made me swear. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This was narrated to me by Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him).
