Purification

Chapter on Ghusl (Ablution after major impurity)

Zujajat al-Masabih 511Volume 1

English

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me while I was in a state of major impurity (janabah). He took my hand, and I walked with him until we sat down. I slipped away and went to wash myself. Afterward, I came back, and he was still sitting. He asked, "Where were you, O Abu Huraira?" I replied, and he said, "Glory be to Allah, a believer does not become impure." This is the wording of Al-Bukhari, and Muslim reported a similar meaning. Muslim's narration adds after the statement: "I told him, 'You met me while I was in a state of janabah, and I disliked sitting with you until I performed the purification.'" Al-Bukhari also reported this in another narration.

Note 1

ف: اس حدیث میں ارشاد ہے کہ مومن ناپاک نہیں ہوتا ہے اس سے مراد یہ ہے کہ جنابت نجاست حکمی ہے جس کا حکم شارع علیہ السلام نے دیا ہے اور غسل اس پر واجب کیا ہے، اس لئے جنابت کی وجہ سے حقیقتاً مسلمان اور مومن نجس نہیں ہو جاتا اور اسی لئے جنبی کا پسینہ اور جھوٹا، اور اس سے مصافحہ اور اس کے ساتھ اٹھنا بیٹھنا وغیرہ جائز ہے۔ (لمعات)۔
