Hadith 26170

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ , عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبِيتُ جُنُبًا فَيَأْتِيهِ بِلَالٌ , فَيُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ , فَيَقُومُ فَيَغْتَسِلُ , فَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى تَحَادُرِ الْمَاءِ فِي شَعْرِهِ وَجِلْدِهِ , ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ , فَأَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ , ثُمَّ يَظَلُّ صَائِمًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be in a state of impurity by choice in the morning, so he would perform ghusl, and drops of water would be dripping from his hair and body, and he would go for prayer, and I would listen to his recitation, and on that day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be fasting.
