[Machine] "I arrived at my family's place from a journey, and they smeared me with saffron. When I woke up in the morning, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and greeted him, but he did not greet me back or smile at me. He told me to go and wash off the saffron, so I washed it off. Then I went to him, and there was still some of it left on me. I greeted him, but he did not greet me back or smile at me. He told me to go and wash it off again, so I washed it off. Then I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and greeted him, and he responded to my greeting, smiled at me, and said: 'Indeed, the angels do not attend the funeral of a disbeliever, one who has smeared himself with saffron, or one who is in a state of sexual impurity. And it is permissible for one who is in a state of sexual impurity, and wishes to eat or sleep, to perform ablution.'"

قَدِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي مِنْ سَفَرٍ فَضَمَّخُونِي بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُرَحِّبْ بِي وَلَمْ يَبَشَّ بِي وَقَالَ اذْهَبْ وَاغْسِلْ هَذَا عَنْكَ فَغَسَلْتُهُ عَنِّي فَجِئْتُهُ وَقَدْ بَقِيَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُرَحِّبْ بِي وَلَمْ يَبَشَّ بِي وَقَالَ اذْهَبْ وَاغْسِلْ عَنْكَ هَذَا فَغَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ السَّلَامَ وَرَحَّبَ بِي وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا تَحْضُرُ جَنَازَةَ الْكَافِرِ بِخَيْرٍ وَلَا الْمُتَضَمِّخَ بِالزَّعْفَرَانِ وَلَا الْجُنُبَ وَرُخِّصَ لِلْجُنُبِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ أَوْ يَنَامَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ

I came to my family at night (after a journey) with my hands chapped and they perfumed me with saffron. In the morning I went to the Prophet ﷺ and gave him a greeting, but he did not respond to me nor did he welcome me. He said: Go away and wash this off yourself. I then went away and washed it off me. I came to him but there remained a spot of it on me. I give him a greeting, but he did not respond to me nor did he welcome me. He said: Go away and wash it off yourself. I then went away and washed it off me. I then came and gave him a greeting. He responded to me and welcomed me, saying: The angels do not attend the funeral of an unbeliever bringing good to it, nor a man who smears himself with saffron, nor a man who is sexually defiled. He said: He permitted the man who was sexually defiled to perform ablution when he slept, ate or drank.
