Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to ask about a matter. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was listening to this from behind the door. He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Sometimes the time for (Fajr) prayer comes upon me while I am in a state of major impurity (janabah), so should I fast on that day? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Sometimes the prayer also finds me in such a state that I am junub, so I fast. He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! You are not like us. Allah Almighty has forgiven your past and future sins. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: By Allah! I hope that I am the most God-fearing among you and the most knowledgeable about what piety is.
