ahmad:639Yaḥyá > Shuʿbah > ʿAmr b. Murrah > ʿAbdullāh b. Salamah Qālaʾatayt > ʿAlī > And two men

Two men and I came to ‘Ali ؓ , who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was relieving himself, then he came out and recited Qurʿan and ate meat with us. Nothing prevented or stopped him from reciting Qurʿan except janabah.  

أحمد:٦٣٩حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ شُعْبَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ أَنَا وَرَجُلانِ فَقَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا اللَّحْمَ وَلا يَحْجِزُهُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ يَحْجُبُهُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ لَيْسَ الْجَنَابَةَ
