حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْبَزَّازُ يُعْرَفُ بِابْنِ الْمُطَبَّقِيِّ ، ثنا جَحْدَرُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، ثنا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ جُوَيْبِرٍ ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " أَيُّمَا إِمَامٍ سَهَى فَصَلَّى بِالْقَوْمِ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَقَدْ مَضَتْ صَلاتُهُمْ ، ثُمَّ لِيَغْتَسِلْ هُوَ ثُمَّ لِيُعِدْ صَلاتَهُ ، وَإِنْ صَلَّى بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ " . كَذَا قَالَ عِيسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.
Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “If an imam, out of forgetfulness, leads people in prayer while in a state of major impurity (janabah), then the prayer of those people will be valid, but the imam should perform ghusl and repeat his own prayer. Similarly, if he (out of forgetfulness) leads the prayer without ablution (wudu), then the same ruling will apply.” The narrator named Isa bin Ibrahim has transmitted these very words.
