اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قال : أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ، قال : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا لَقِيَ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَاسَحَهُ وَدَعَا لَهُ ، قَالَ : فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَوْمًا بُكْرَةً فَحِدْتُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ فَحِدْتَ عَنِّي ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَمَسَّنِي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَا يَنْجُسُ " .
´It was narrated that Huthaifah said:` "When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) met a man from among his Companions, he would shake hands with him and supplicate for him. I saw him one day in the early morning, and I tried to avoid him, then I came to him later in the day. He said: 'I saw you but you were avoiding me.' I said: 'I was Junub and I was afraid that you would touch me.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The Muslim is not made impure (Najis).'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
268. Commentary:
➊ A teacher or elder should take care of their juniors and students, remain informed about their circumstances to the necessary extent so that they can assist and guide them as needed. They should shake hands with them, maintain social interaction, and along with this, also pray for them. Especially, a servant is more deserving of supplication. This will also serve as a recompense for their service.
➋ Due to major ritual impurity (janabah), menstruation (hayd), and urination or defecation, a person becomes unfit for prayer and similar acts of worship. This is a spiritual impurity. Outwardly, a person—especially a Muslim—remains pure. In the aforementioned states, it is permissible to interact with such a person, eat and drink with them, and engage in all kinds of work with them; there is no difference. It is permissible to eat or drink what they have left over. If they put their hand into something (for example, water, etc.) and there is no visible impurity on the hand, then that thing remains pure. And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: Janabah is a legal (hukmi) impurity, not a physical impurity; therefore, in the state of janabah, a person’s body does not become impure.
The impurity of a disbeliever (kafir) is also doctrinal and internal; outwardly, he is not impure.
