English translation
231. Abū Hurairah narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once met me in one of the streets of Al-Madinah while I was in a state of sexual impurity, so I hid myself, then went and performed Ghusl. Then I came (to him). He said: 'Where were you, O Abū Hurairah?' I replied: 'I was in a state of sexual impurity, so I disliked that I sit with you in an impure state.' He replied: 'Subhān Allāh! The Muslim does not become impure.'" (Sahih)
