Authentic 4 scholars’ grades Sunan Ibn Majah 1703

Narrator:Ā’ishah

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم

ـ يَبِيتُ جُنُبًا. فَيَأْتِيهِ بِلاَلٌ، فَيُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَيَقُومُ فَيَغْتَسِلُ. فَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى تَحَدُّرِ الْمَاءِ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ. ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَأَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ ‏.‏

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:

“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to spend the night in a state of sexual impurity, then Bilal would come to him and inform him that it is time for prayer. So he would get up and have a bath, and I would see the water dripping from his head, then he would go out and I would hear his voice during Fajr prayer.”

(One of the narrators) Mutarrif said: "I said to Amir: 'Was that during Ramadan?' He said: 'In Ramadan and at other times.'"

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 1703) and Ahmad (No. 24974).

قَوْله ( فَيُؤْذِنهُ ) مِنْ الْإِيذَان أَيْ يُخْبِرهُ بِحُضُورِ وَقْتهَا ( إِلَى تَحَدُّر الْمَاء ) أَيْ نُزُوله ( فَقُلْت لِعَامِرٍ ) أَيْ الشَّعْبِيّ وَهَذَا مَحَلّ الدَّلِيل وَهُوَ فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَة مُرْسَل لَكِنَّهُ فِي الرِّوَايَة الْآتِيَة مُسْنَد وَهُوَ يَكْفِي.…
