Sahih Muslim 1109a (Book 13, Hadith 95) #9734
Waking Up in a State of Junub and Observing Fast

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) waking up in a state of junub (ritual impurity) without having a wet dream and still observing fast.

Abu Bakr (he is Abu Bakr b. Abd al-Rahman b. Harith) reported: I heard Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrating that he who is overtaken by dawn in a state of seminal emission should not observe fast. I made a mention of it to 'Abd al-Rahman b. Harith (i. e. to his father) but he denied it'.Abd al-Rahman went and I also went along with him till we came to'A'isha and Umm Salama (Allah be pleased with both of them) and Abd al-Rahman asked them about it. Both of them said: (At times it so happened) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up in the morning in a state of junub (but without seminal emission in a dream) and observed fast He (the narrator) said: We then proceeded till we went to Marwan and Abd al-Rahman made a mention of it to him. Upon this Marwan said: I stress upon you (with an oath) that you better go to Abu Huraira and refer to him what is said about it. So we came to Abu Huraira and Abu Bakr had been with us throughout and 'Abd al-Rahman made a mention of it to him, whereupon Abu Huraira said: Did they (the two wives of the Holy Prophet) tell you this? He replied: Yes Upon this (Abu Huraira) said: They have better knowledge. Abu Huraira then attributed that what was said about it to Fadl b. 'Abbas and said: I heard it from Fadl and not from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Huraira then retracted from what he used to say about it. Ibn Juraij (one of the narrators) reported: I asked 'Abd al-Malik, if they (the two wives) said (made the statement) in regard to Ramadan, whereupon he said: It was so, and he (the Holy Prophet) (woke up in the) morning in a state of junub which was not due to the wet dream and then observed fast.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's practice of fasting even when he woke up in a state of junub. Junub is an Islamic term for ritual impurity which can be caused by sexual intercourse or seminal emission. In this case it was not due to any wet dream but he still observed fast. The hadith also mentions that when Abu Bakr heard this from Abu Huraira he asked his father if it was true but his father denied it so they went to ask A'isha and Umm Salama who confirmed that the Prophet did observe fast even when he woke up in such a state. They then went to Marwan who asked them to go back to Abu Huraira for confirmation which they did and upon hearing their confirmation from A'isha and Umm Salama he retracted what he said before about it being false. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek knowledge from reliable sources instead of relying on hearsay or our own assumptions as well as following the example set by our beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH even if we don't understand why something is done or why something should be done because Allah knows best what He has ordained for us as Muslims.
