121. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ met him while he was Junub. He said: "[So I slipped away from him – meaning:] I withdrew – to perform Ghusl. Then I returned, so he said: 'Where have you been?' Or: 'Where did you go?' I replied: 'I was Junub.' So he said: 'Indeed the believer is not defiled.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ḥudhaifah, [and Ibn 'Abbās].
Abū 'Eisā said: [And] the Hadīth of Abū Hurairah [that he met the Prophet ﷺ while he was Junub] is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
More than one of the people of knowledge permitted shaking the
hand of the Junub person, and they did not see any harm in the sweat of the Junub or menstruating women.
[And the meaning of his saying "So I withdrew" is "I went away from him."]
