Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُوحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي يُونُسَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْبَابِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ قَالَ أُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي أُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَمِثْلِكَ أَنْتَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَخْشَاكُمْ لِلرَّبِّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَعْلَمَكُمْ بِمَا أَتَّقِي.
English Translation
Abu Nuh narrated to us: Malik ibn Anas informed us, from Abdullah ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Ma'mar, from Abu Yunus, from Aisha, who said: A man asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was standing at the door and I was listening; he said: I rise in the morning in a state of major ritual impurity while I intend to fast. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I too rise in the morning in a state of major ritual impurity while I intend to fast. The man said: I am not like you -- Allah has forgiven you your past and future sins. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, became angry and said: I hope that I am the most fearful of you all of the Lord, Mighty and Sublime, and the most knowledgeable of you of what I should guard against.
