146. 'Alī narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would recite the Qur'ān in all conditions, as long as he was not Junub." (Hasan) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth of 'Alī is a Hasan Ṣaḥīh Hadīth. And it is the view of more than one of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the Tābi'īn. They said: A man may recite the Qur'an without having Wudu', but he is not to recite from the Mushaf[1] unless he is in a state of purity. This is the saying of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad and Ishāq.

Arabic text

١٤٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ‌وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْأَعْمَشُ ‌وَابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ ‌عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلِمَةَ، عَنْ ‌عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقْرِئُنَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ جُنُبًا». حَدِيثُ عَلِيٍّ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَبِهِ قَالَ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالتَّابِعِينَ، قَالُوا: يَقْرَأُ الرَّجُلُ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ، وَلَا يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ إِلَّا وَهُوَ طَاهِرٌ، وَبِهِ يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ.

Commentary

Is a sexually impure person allowed to read Qur'an or not? This discussion has preceded in chapter 98. Now, the remaining issue is to touch the copy of the Qur'an without purification; is it allowed or not? The purification is a condition for touching the copy of the Qur'an, according to the majority and the Hadith "none should touch the Qur'an except a pure" supports this opinion.
