[2589] 75 - (1109) It was narrated that Abû Bakr said: “I heard Abû Hurairah [may Allâh be pleased with them] speaking, and one of the things that he said was: ‘If dawn comes when a person is Junub, he should not fast.’ I mentioned that to ‘Abdur-Rahmân bin Al-Hârith - to his father - and he denied that. ‘Abdur-Rahmân set off, and I set off with him, and we entered upon ‘Aishah and Umm Salamah, may Allâh be pleased with them both. ‘Abdur-Rahmân asked them about that and they both said: ‘The Prophet ﷺ would be Junub in the morning, not as the result of a wet dream, then he would fast.’ We went and entered upon Marwân, and
‘Abdur-Rahmân mentioned that to him. Marwân said: ‘I urge you to go to Abû Hurairah and prove to him that he was wrong.’ We went to Abû Hurairah, and Abû Bakr was present throughout all that. ‘Abdur-Rahmân told him about that and Abû Hurairah said: ‘Did they tell you that?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘They know better.’”
“Then Abû Hurairah attributed what he used to say concerning that to Al-Faql bin ‘Abbâs, and Abû Hurairah said: ‘That is from Al-Faql; I did not hear it from the Prophet ﷺ.’ So Abû Hurairah retracted what he used to say on this issue.”
I said[1] to ‘Abdul-Mâlik: “Did they say that with regard to Ramaḍân?” He said: “Yes, he (ﷺ) used to wake up Junub without that being the result of a wet dream, then he would fast.”
