[Machine] I became ritually impure, so I went to Abu Hurairah and asked him. He said to me, "Break your fast." So I said, "Shouldn't I complete my fast instead?" He said, "No, break your fast." So I went to Marwan ibn al-Hakam and asked him, informing him of Abu Hurairah's statement. He sent Abdur Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham to Aisha and asked her. She said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to go out for the Fajr prayer with his head dripping (from sexual intercourse) and then he would fast that day." So he returned to Marwan and informed him of that. Marwan said, "Go to Abu Hurairah and inform him." Abu Hurairah said, "I never heard it from the Prophet ﷺ , but Fadl ibn Abbas informed me about it from the Prophet ﷺ ."  

أَصْبَحْتُ جُنُبًا فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي «أَفْطِرْ» فَقُلْتُ أَلَا أَصُومُهُ وَأَقْضِي؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ أَفْطِرْ» فَأَتَيْتُ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ وَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَبَعَثَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ لِصَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ مِنْ جِمَاعٍ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ» فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ائْتِ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَأَخْبِرْهُ فَقَالَ أَمَا أَنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا حَدَّثَنِيهِ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
