حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، نا الصَّغَانِيُّ ، ثنا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، ثنا الأَعْمَشُ ، وَثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْحَرْبِيُّ ، نا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، ثنا الأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا مَعَهُ فِي سَفَرٍ فَانْطَلَقَ فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيْ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ تَوَضَّأْ لَعَلَّنَا نَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ آيِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ، فَقَالَ : سَلُونِي فَإِنِّي لا أَمَسُّهُ إِنَّهُ لا يَمَسُّهُ إِلا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ " ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ ، فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ . الْمَعْنَى قَرِيبٌ كُلُّهَا صِحَاحٌ.
Abdur Rahman bin Yazid narrates: Once we were traveling with Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him). He went away to relieve himself, then he returned, so I said: “O Abu Abdullah! Please perform ablution so that we may ask you about some verses of the Qur’an.” He replied: “Ask me, I am not touching it; only those in a state of ablution may touch it.” Then we asked Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) questions, and he recited some verses before us even before performing ablution. The content of this narration is nearly the same, and all the chains of transmission are authentically reported.
