Abu Bakr (RA) (he is Abu Bakr (RA) bin Abdul Rahman bin Harith) reported: I heard Abu Hurairah (RA) narrating that he who is overtaken by dawn in a state of seminal emission should not observe fast. I made a mention of it to 'Abdul Rahman bin Harith (i. e. to his father) but he denied it. 'Abdul Rahman went and I also went along with him till we came to'A'isha and Umm Salamah (Allah be pleased with both of them) and Abdul Rahman asked them about it. Both of them said: (At times it so happened) that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) woke up in the morning in a state of junub (but without seminal emission in a dream) and observed fast. He (the narrator) said: We then proceeded till we went to Marwan and Abdul Rahman made a mention of it to him. Upon this Marwan said: I stress upon you (with an oath) that you better go to Abu Hurairah (RA) and refer to him what is said about it. So we came to Abu Hurairah (RA) and Abu Bakr (RA) had been with us throughout and 'Abdul Rahman made a mention of it to him, whereupon Abu Hurairah (RA) said: Did they (the two wives of the Holy Prophet) tell you this? He replied: Yes. Upon this (Abu Hurairah (RA)) said: They have better knowledge. Abu Hurairah (RA) then attributed that what was said about it to Fadl bin 'Abbas and said: I heard it from Fadl and not from the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . Abu Hurairah (RA) then retracted from what he used to say about it. Ibn Juraij (one of the narrators) reported: I asked 'Abdul Malik, if they (the two wives) said (made the statement) in regard to Ramadan, whereupon he said: It was so, and he (the Holy Prophet) (woke up in the) morning in a state of junub which was not due to the wet dream and then observed fast.

'A'isha, the wife of the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , said: The dawn broke upon the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) during the Ramadan in a state of junub not because of sexual dream (but on account of intercourse) and he washed himself and observed fast.

Abu Bakr (RA) reported that Marwan sent him to Umm Salamah to ask whether a person should observe fast who is in a state of junub and the dawn breaks upon him, whereupon she said that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (was at times) junbi on account of intercourse and not due to sexual dream, and the dawn broke upon him, but he neither broke the fast nor recompensed.

Abu Bakr (RA) bin 'Abdul Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham reported on the authority of 'A'isha and Umm Salamah, the wives of the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) at times got up in the morning in a state of junub on account of having a sexual intercourse (with his wives during night) but not due to sexual dreams in the month of Ramadan, and would observe fast.

'A'isha reported that a person came to the Apottle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asking for a fatwa (religious verdict). She ('A'isha) had been overhearing it from behind the curtain. 'A'isha added that he (the person) had said: Messenger of Allah, (the time) of prayer overtakes me as I am in a state of junub; should I observe fast (in this state)? Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: At times, the time of prayer overtakes me while I am in a state of junub, and I observe fast (in that very state), whereupon he said: Messenger of Allah, you are not like us Allah has pardoned all your sins, the previous ones and the later ones. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: By Allah, I hope I am the most God-fearirg of you, and possess the best knowledge among you of those (things) against which I should guard.

Sulaiman bin Yasar reported that he asked Umm Salamah whether a person (who gets up) in the morning in a state of junub should observe fast. She said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (at times) got up in the morning in a state of junub, not because of sexual dreams (but on account of intercourse at night), and then observed fast.
