Sahih al-Bukhari 640 (Book 10, Hadith 37) #617
Taking a Bath During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was Junub and he went out to take a bath, then returned and led the prayer.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Once Iqama was pronounced and the people had straightened the rows, Allah's Messenger went forward (to lead the prayer) but he was Junub, so he said, "Remain in your places". And he went out, took a bath and returned with water trickling from his head. Then he led the prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَسَوَّى النَّاسُ صُفُوفَهُمْ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَتَقَدَّمَ وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ عَلَى مَكَانِكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَرَجَعَ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ مَاءً فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ‏.‏
