حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَا وَرَجُلَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏رَجُلٌ مِنَّا وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ أَحْسِبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَعَثَهُمَا عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَجْهًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّكُمَا عِلْجَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَالِجَا عَنْ دِينِكُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَخْرَجَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ حَفْنَةً فَتَمَسَّحَ بِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ فَيُقْرِئُنَا الْقُرْآنَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا اللَّحْمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْجُبُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَحْجُزُهُ عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ لَيْسَ الْجَنَابَةَ.

I, accompanied by other two persons, one from us and the other from Banu Asad, called upon Ali رضی اللہ عنہ . He sent them to a certain territory (on some mission) saying: You are sturdy and vigorous people; hence display your power for religion. He then stood and entered the toilet. He then came out and called for water and took a handful of it. Then he wiped (his hands) with it and began to recite the Quran. They were surprised at this (action). Thereupon he said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came out from the privy and taught us the Quran and took meat with us. Nothing prevented him; or the narrator said: Nothing prevented him from (reciting) the Quran except sexual defilement.
