Abu Qais, who was the servant of Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) was also on an expedition. The people faced such severe cold that they had never experienced such cold before. Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As came for the morning prayer and said, "Last night I had a wet dream," so he washed his private parts and performed ablution as for prayer, and led the people in prayer. When he presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his companions, "How did you find Amr and his companions?" The people praised him and mentioned this matter. "O Messenger of Allah, he led us in prayer while in a state of major ritual impurity." So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Amr and asked him, and Sayyiduna Amr informed him and told him about the cold he had faced. He said, "O Messenger of Allah! Allah Almighty has said: 'Do not kill yourselves.' If I had performed ghusl, I would have died." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed at the statement of Sayyiduna Amr.
