[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wake up in a state of sexual impurity without having had a wet dream, so he would perform ghusl (ritual bath) and then observe fasting for that day. Al-Qa'qa' ibn Hakim reported: I said to Abu Huraira, "Who informed you about this?" He said, "I was determined to meet him (the Prophet), so I met him and narrated the hadith. He said, 'I have not heard this from the Prophet ﷺ , but Fadl ibn Abbas informed me about it.' I said, 'Who informed you about it?' He replied, 'Ismail narrated it to us from Ayyub, from Ikrimah ibn Khalid, from Abu Bakr ibn Abdur Rahman ibn Al-Harith.' He said, 'I am most knowledgeable about this hadith among the people. It reached Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam that Abu Huraira narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, 'Whoever wakes up in the morning in a state of sexual impurity should not fast that day.' So Marwan sent (someone) to 'A'ishah to ask her about that. I accompanied him and he asked her, and she said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wake up in a state of sexual impurity without having had a wet dream, and he would then observe fasting for that day.' So he returned to Marwan and informed him. Al-Qa'qa' ibn Hakim said: "I asked Abu Huraira, 'Tell him (Marwan) about it.' He replied, 'It is my neighbor, and I dislike to meet him with something that he dislikes. I said, 'I urge you to meet him and inform him.' So he met him and narrated the hadith. The latter said, 'Fadl told me.' Abu Abdullah (i.e., Imam Ahmad) said: "Ahmad ibn Mani' said: 'Ismail narrated to us from Ayyub, from Ikrimah ibn Khalid, from Abu Bakr ibn Abdur Rahman ibn Al-Harith.'" 'Umar ibn Abu Bakr ibn Abdur Rahman disagreed with Fadl and Ikrimah.

[Machine] From the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, it is narrated that whoever wakes up in the morning while in a state of sexual impurity should not fast that day. He sent someone to ask Aisha about this matter. She went with him and he asked her. She said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wake up in a state of sexual impurity without having had a wet dream, and then he would fast. He returned to Marwan and narrated this to him. Marwan then said, "Ask Abu Huraira about it." So he asked Abu Huraira, who replied, "Indeed, it is a habit of his, and I dislike meeting him in a way that he dislikes. But if I am determined, I will go and meet him." He met the Prophet and said, "O Abu Huraira, by Allah, I dislike meeting you in a way that you dislike. But the ruler has ordered me to do so." He narrated this to him and he said, "Al-Fadl narrated it to me."

[Machine] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "Whoever wakes up in a state of janabah should not fast that day." My father sent me to Aisha to ask her about this, so I went to her and asked her. She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would wake up in a state of janabah without having a wet dream, and then he would fast." I returned to Marwan and informed him, and he said: "Go and inform Abu Hurayrah." So I went to Abu Hurayrah and said to him, "I dislike approaching you with something you dislike." He said, "I have made a decision for you to come to me, so come." I went to him and he said, "O Abu Hurayrah, if I disliked approaching you with something you disliked, but the Amir has made a decision." Abu Hurayrah then narrated to him through al-Fadl ibn Abbas.
