حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، ثنا عَمِّي ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبِي أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ ، كَانَ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ ، وَأَنَّهُمْ أَصَابَهُمْ بَرْدٌ شَدِيدٌ ، لَمْ يَرَوْا مِثْلَهُ ، فَخَرَجَ لِصَلاةِ الصُّبْحِ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ احْتَلَمْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ ، وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ بَرْدًا مثل هَذَا مَرَّ عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمْ مِثْلُهُ ، فَغَسَلَ مَغَابِنَهُ وَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاةِ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمْ فَلَمَّا ، قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، سَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَصْحَابَهُ : " كَيْفَ وَجَدْتُمْ عَمْرًا وَصَحَابَتِهِ لَكُمْ ؟ " ، فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا ، وَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، صَلَّى بِنَا وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَمْرٍو ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ وَبِالَّذِي لَقِيَ مِنَ الْبَرْدِ ، وَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ : وَلا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ سورة النساء آية 29 ، فَلَوِ اغْتَسَلْتُ مِتُّ ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَمْرٍو .
Abu Qais, who was the servant of Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: Once, Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) went on a military expedition. During this time, he faced such severe cold as he had never experienced before. When he was about to go for the morning prayer, he said: "By Allah! I had a wet dream last night. Such cold, by Allah! I have never seen before." Then he washed his knees (where there were traces of the wet dream), performed ablution as for prayer, and led his companions in prayer. When they presented themselves before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he asked his companions: "How did you find Amr, how was his companionship?" They praised Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) greatly and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Once, he led us in prayer while he was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah)." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Amr. He explained the situation to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Allah Almighty has said: 'Do not kill yourselves.' If I had performed ghusl at that time, I would have died." At this, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled.
