الْأَسْلَعُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ
[Machine] "I was preparing the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a journey, when I experienced sexual impurity on a cold night. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to embark on the journey, but I disliked traveling with his camel while I was in a state of impurity. I also feared that if I were to perform ablution with cold water, I would fall ill or die. So, I instructed a man from the Ansar to take the camel and I arranged some stones to heat up water. I then performed ablution and caught up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Aslam, why do I see that your camel has been changed?' I replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, I did not prepare it for the journey. A man from the Ansar did that.' He asked, 'Why?' I said, 'Because I experienced sexual impurity and I feared for myself from being harmed, so I instructed him to prepare it for the journey while I heated up water using stones and performed ablution with it.' Then Allah revealed the verse from 'O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated' to 'Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful'."
كُنْتُ أُرَحِّلُ نَاقَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ وَأَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرِّحْلَةَ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَرْحَلَ نَاقَتَهُ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ أَغْتَسِلَ بِالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ فَأَمُوتَ أَوْ أُمَرِّضَ فَأَمَرْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَرَحَلَّهَا وَوَضَعْتُ أَحْجَارًا فَأَسْخَنْتُ بِهَا مَاءً فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ لَحِقْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ «يَا أَسْلَعُ مَا لِي أَرَى رِحْلَتَكَ تَغَيَّرَتْ؟» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ أَرْحَلْهَا رَحَلَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ «وَلِمَ؟» فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ فَخَشِيتُ الْقُرَّ عَلَى نَفْسِي فَأَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يَرْحَلَهَا وَوَضَعْتُ أَحْجَارًا فَأَسْخَنْتُ مَاءً وَاغْتَسَلْتُ بِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى} إِلَى {إِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا}
