[Machine] We were with Salman, then he left for a need and disappeared from us. Then he came back to us, and there was no water between us and him. We said to him, "O Abu Abdullah, if you perform ablution, we will ask you about some things from the Quran." He replied, "Ask me, for I am not in a state of impurity." He then recited, "Indeed, it is a noble Quran in a hidden Book. None touch it except the purified ones." [Surah Al-Waqi'ah, verse 78].
كُنَّا مَعَ سَلْمَانَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى حَاجَةٍ فَتَوَارَى عَنَّا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ مَاءٌ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَوْ تَوَضَّأْتَ فَسَأَلْنَاكَ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ «سَلُوا فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أَمَسُّهُ» فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَمَسُّهُ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ ثُمَّ تَلَا {إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ فِي كِتَابٍ مَكْنُونٍ لَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ} [الواقعة 78]
