Hadith 2009
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، حَدَّثَنِي سُمَيٌّ ، وَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ سُمَيٍّ , سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَ أَبِي , فَسَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، تَقُولُ : " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُدْرِكُهُ الصُّبْحُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَيَصُومُ "
It is narrated from Abu Bakr that Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Abdur Rahman bin Harith to the service of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Abu Bakr says that I also went with my father. Then I heard Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the morning in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity), then (in that state) he would observe the fast.
