Sunan an-Nasai 267 (Book 1, Hadith 268) #14874
The Purity of Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that Muslims are not impure and should not be avoided.

It was narrated that Huthaifah said: "When the Messenger of Allah met a man from among his Companions, he would shake hands with him and supplicate for him. I saw him one day in the early morning, and I tried to avoid him, then I came to him later in the day. He said: 'I saw you but you were avoiding me'. I said: 'I was Junub and I was afraid that you would touch me'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'The Muslim is not made impure (Najis)'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا لَقِيَ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَاسَحَهُ وَدَعَا لَهُ - قَالَ - فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَوْمًا بُكْرَةً فَحِدْتُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ فَحِدْتَ عَنِّي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَمَسَّنِي ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لاَ يَنْجُسُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of respecting all Muslims regardless of their state or condition. It is narrated by Huthaifah that when the Prophet Muhammad met a man from among his Companions he would shake hands with him and supplicate for him. On one occasion, Huthaifah tried to avoid the Prophet because he was in a state of ritual impurity known as Junub but the Prophet told him that a Muslim is not made impure by such states and should not be avoided because of it. This hadith teaches us to respect all people regardless of their physical or spiritual condition as they are still pure in Allah's eyes. We must also remember to treat each other with kindness and compassion even if we may disagree on certain matters or have different beliefs.
