It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he says: I met the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while I was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah). Nevertheless, I walked along with him until he sat down, and I slipped away from there, went home, performed ghusl (ritual bath), and then came back to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was still sitting. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked: "Where were you?" I said: "You met me while I was in a state of janabah, and I disliked sitting with you in that state, so I went and performed ghusl." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Subhan Allah! Indeed, a believer is never impure."

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met me while he was on one of the roads of Madinah, so I slipped away, went and performed ghusl (ritual bath), and then returned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he mentioned a similar narration, except that in this one it is stated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, a Muslim does not become impure."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met him on one of the roads of Madinah. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) leaned towards him, he said: "I am in a state of impurity (janabah)." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, a believer does not become impure."

(Second Chain) Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) met him, but he turned aside from there, performed ghusl (ritual bath), and came back again. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What happened to you?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I was in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, a Muslim does not become impure."
