68 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: اغْتَسَلَ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَفْنَةٍ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا أَوْ يَغْتَسِلَ، فَقَالَتْ: لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْمَاءَ لَا يُجْنِبُ»
