Abdur Rahman bin Harith says: I went to Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and she narrated this hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the morning in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform ghusl and proceed towards the mosque, while drops of water would be falling from his head, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would also be fasting that day. When I narrated this hadith to Marwan bin Hakam, he said to me: Go and inform Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) of this hadith from Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). I said: He is my friend and I wish that you excuse me in this matter. But he said: I insist that you go. So, both he and I went to Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and I conveyed Lady Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) statement to him. He said: (This means that) Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) knows more about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
