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