268. It was narrated that Huthaifah said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ met a man from among his Companions, he would shake hands with him and supplicate for him. I saw him one day in the early morning, and I tried to avoid him, then I came to him later in the day. He said: 'I saw you but you were avoiding me.' I said: 'I was Junub and I was afraid that you would touch me.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Muslim is not made impure (Najis)."(Sahih)

Arabic text

267 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا لَقِيَ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَاسَحَهُ وَدَعَا لَهُ. قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَوْمًا بُكْرَةً فَحِدْتُ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ فَحِدْتَ عَنِّي». فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَمَسَّنِي. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَا يَنْجُسُ»

Commentary

A Muslim is always pure. Nonetheless, there are things - such as the major ritual impurity, urine, feces, etc. - which render him ill-equipped for prayer, etc.
