"I came to 'Ali with two other men and he said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come out of the toilet and recite Qur'an, and he would eat meat with us and nothing would prevent him from (reciting) Qur'an except Janabah."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْخَلاَءِ فَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا اللَّحْمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْجُبُهُ عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ شَىْءٌ لَيْسَ الْجَنَابَةَ  

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  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would relieve himself, then eat meat with us and recite Qurʿan, and nothing stopped him or prevented him (from reciting Qurʿan) except janabah.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْضِي الْحَاجَةَ فَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا اللَّحْمَ وَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْجِزُهُ أَوْ يَحْجُبُهُ إِلا الْجَنَابَةُ  

I entered upon ʿAli bin Abi Talib along with two other men, one man from among my people and another from Banu Asad - I think and he sent us on an errand and said: You are strong people, so use your strength to serve your religion. Then he went to the outhouse and relieved himself. Then he came out and took a handful of water and washed himself with it. Then he started reciting Qurʿan. Then it was as if he realised that we found that strange, so he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to relieve himself, then come out and recite Qurʿan and eat meat with us. Nothing came between him and the Qurʿan except janabah. (Using translation from Aḥmad 840)   

عَنْ دِينِكُمَا ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَخْرَجَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأَخَذَ حَفْنَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَمَسَّحَ بِهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فَرَآنَا أَنْكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْتِي الْخَلَاءَ فَيَقْضِي الْحَاجَةَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ وَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا يَحْجُبُهُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ وَلَا يَحْجِزُهُ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ سِوَى الْجَنَابَةِ أَوِ إِلَّا الْجَنَابَةَ  

"I came to 'Ali with two other men and he said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come out of the toilet and recite Qur'an, and he would eat meat with us and nothing would prevent him from (reciting) Qur'an except Janabah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 265)  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ فَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا اللَّحْمُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْجُبُهُ عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ لَيْسَ الْجَنَابَةَ»
