[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once ate a meal and then said, "Keep me covered until I perform ablution." I asked, "Were you in a state of sexual impurity, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes." So, I informed Umar ibn Al-Khattab about this, and he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him, "It is claimed that you ate while in a state of sexual impurity." He replied, "Yes, when I perform ablution, I eat and drink and do not pray or read until I perform a ritual bath."
أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا طَعَامًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «اسْتُرْ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى أَغْتَسِلَ» فَقُلْتُ كُنْتَ جُنُبًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَأَخْبَرْتُ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَذَا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ أَكَلْتَ وَأَنْتَ جُنُبٌ؟ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتُ أَكَلْتُ وَشَرِبْتُ وَلَا أُصَلِّي وَلَا أَقْرَأُ حَتَّى أَغْتَسِلَ»
