235. Abū Hurairah said: "The Iqāmah for prayer was called, and the people stood in their rows. The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) came out, and, when he stood in his place, he remembered that he had not performed Ghusl. So he told the people: 'Stay in your places,' then returned to his house. He came back to us while we were still in
our rows, while his head was dripping (with water), for he had performed Ghusl.” (Sahih)
‘Ayyāsh (one of the narrators): said: “We remained standing, waiting for him, until he came out to us after having performed Ghusl.”

Commentary
If one remembers he is in a state of major impurity, or such occurs to him while in the Masjid, (as, for example, due to a nocturnal emission), one should leave and perform Ghusl. It is not required for him to perform Tayammum, as is erroneously believed by some.
