[Machine] "We entered upon Ali, me and two other men, one of whom was from our tribe and the other from the tribe of Banu Asad. Ali said to them, 'So they sent them for a need, and he said, "Indeed, you two are sick, so treat yourselves according to your religion."' Then he entered the restroom and came out. He called for water and washed his hands, then he began to recite the Quran. It seemed as if we disapproved, so he said, 'It seems that you two disapproved. The Messenger of Allah used to fulfill his needs, recite the Qur'an, and eat meat without anything preventing him from recitation except impurity (janabah).'"
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَلِيٍّ أَنَا وَرَجُلَانِ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ قَالَ فَبَعَثَهُمَا لِحَاجَةٍ وَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمَا عِلْجَانِ فَعَالِجَا عَنْ دِينِكُمَا» قَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَخْرَجَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فَكَأَنَّا أَنْكَرْنَا فَقَالَ «كَأَنَّكُمَا أَنْكَرْتُمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْضِي الْحَاجَةَ وَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْجُبُهُ عَنْ قِرَاءَتِهِ شَيْءٌ لَيْسَ الْجَنَابَةُ»
