The Prophet ﷺ came across me in one of the streets of Medina and at that time I was Junub. So I slipped away from him and went to take a bath. On my return the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Huraira! Where have you been?" I replied, "I was Junub, so I disliked to sit in your company." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Subhan Allah! A believer never becomes impure."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَقِيَهُ فِي بَعْضِ طَرِيقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ فَانْخَنَسْتُ مِنْهُ فَذَهَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى غَيْرِ طَهَارَةٍ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لاَ يَنْجُسُ  

0 Abu Huraira, where were you? He said: Messenger of Allah, you met when I was (sexually) defiled and I did not like to sit in your company before taking a bath. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Hallowed be Allah, verily a believer is never defiled.  

أَنَّهُ لَقِيَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَانْسَلَّ فَذَهَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَتَفَقَّدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ قَالَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقِيتَنِي وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ حَتَّى أَغْتَسِلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لاَ يَنْجُسُ  

'Where were you, O Abu Hurairah?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you met us but I was Junub, and I did not want to sit in your presence until I had performed Ghusl.' He said: 'Subhan Allah! The believer is not made impure (Najis).'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَقِيَهُ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَانْسَلَّ عَنْهُ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَقِيتَنِي وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ حَتَّى أَغْتَسِلَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لاَ يَنْجُسُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me on one of the streets of medina while I was sexually defiled. I retreated and went away. I then took a bath and came to him. He asked : Where were you, O Abu Hurairah? I replied : As I was sexually defiled, I disliked to sit in your company without purification. He exclaimed: Glory be to Allah! A Muslim is not defiled. He (Abu Dawud) said : The version of this tradition reported by Bishr has the chain: Humaid reported from Bakr. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 231)   

لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَانْخَنَسْتُ فَذَهَبْتُ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ؟ قَالَ كُنْتَ لَقِيتَنِي وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ عَلَى غَيْرِ طَهَارَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَا يَنْجُسُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me while I was in a state of post-sex impurity. I walked with him while he held my hand, but I slipped away from him and left. Then, I performed ablution and returned to him, and sat with him. He asked, "Where were you, Abu Hurayrah?" I said, "You met me while I was in a state of post-sex impurity, so I disliked sitting with you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, a believer does not become impure."  

لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِي فَانْسَلَلْتُ مِنْهُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَلَسْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَاهِرٍّ؟ » قُلْتُ لَقِيتَنِي وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يَنْجُسُ»  

0 Abu Huraira, where were you? He said: Messenger of Allah, you met when I was (sexually) defiled and I did not like to sit in your company before taking a bath. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Hallowed be Allah, verily a believer is never defiled. (Using translation from Muslim 371)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَقِيَهُ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَانْسَلَّ فَذَهَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ «أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ لَقِيتَنِي وَأنا جُنُبٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ حَتَّى أَغْتَسِلَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ إِنَّ «الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يَنْجُسُ»

"عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّهُ لَقِيَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي طَريقٍ مِن طُرُقِ الْمَديِنَة وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ فَانْسَلَّ، فَذَهَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ، فَتَفَقَّدَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ: أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! لَقِيتَنِي وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ حَتَّى أَغْتَسِلَ، فَقَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ! إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لا يَنْجُسُ".
