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 ﷺ 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.  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَسْتَفْتِيهِ وَهِيَ تَسْمَعُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَابِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُدْرِكُنِي الصَّلاَةُ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ أَفَأَصُومُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا تُدْرِكُنِي الصَّلاَةُ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَأَصُومُ فَقَالَ لَسْتَ مِثْلَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَعْلَمَكُمْ بِمَا أَتَّقِي  

A man said to Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Messenger of Allah, I was overtaken by dawn while I was sexually defiled, and I want to keep fast. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I am also overtaken by dawn while I am in the state of sexual defilement ; I also want to keep fast. I take a bath and I keep fast. The man said: Messenger of Allah, you are not like us ; Allah has forgiven you your past and future sins. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and said: “I swear by Allah, I hope I shall be the most fearful of you of Allah, and most familiar of you with what I follow.”  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى الْبَابِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «وَأَنَا أُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ فَأَغْتَسِلُ وَأَصُومُ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ مِثْلَنَا، قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ. فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ: «وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَعْلَمَكُمْ بِمَا أَتَّبِعُ»  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Mamar al-Ansari from Abu Yunus, the mawla of A'isha, from A'isha that she overheard a man standing at the door saying to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ "Messenger of Allah, I get up in the morning junub, in a state of major ritual impurity, and want to fast," and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I too get up in the morning junub and want to fast, so I do ghusl and fast." The man said to him, "You are not the same as us. Allah has forgiven you all your wrong actions that have gone before and those that have come after." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got angry and said, "By Allah, I hope that I am the most fearful of you with respect to Allah and the most knowledgeable of you in how I have taqwa."  

قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى الْبَابِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ فَقَالَ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ فَأَغْتَسِلُ وَأَصُومُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ مِثْلَنَا قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَعْلَمَكُمْ بِمَا أَتَّقِي  

[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "O Messenger of Allah, can I perform the prayer while in a state of impurity (junub) and still fast?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Certainly, you can perform the prayer while in a state of impurity (junub) and still fast. Just perform the ritual bath (ghusl) and then observe the fast." The man said, "We can't do what you do, for indeed Allah has forgiven your past and future sins." Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and said, "By Allah, I hope to be the most fearful of you towards Allah and the most knowledgeable amongst you about what I guard against."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تُدْرِكُنِي الصَّلَاةُ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا تُدْرِكُنِي الصَّلَاةُ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَفَأَغْتَسِلُ ثُمَّ أَصُومُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنَّا لَسْنَا مِثْلَكَ فَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَأَعْلَمَكُمْ بِمَا أَتَّقِي

So, I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Sometimes the morning comes upon me while I am in a state of janabah, so I perform ghusl, pray Fajr, and fast that day." Then the man said, "Indeed, you are not like us. Allah has forgiven you for whatever sins you have committed in the past and whatever sins you will commit in the future." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "I hope that I am the most righteous among you and the one who has the most knowledge of what I fear from Allah."
