Hadith #86
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ زِيَادٍ الْأَعْلَمِ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَا
ةَ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ مَكَانَكُمْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَخَرَجَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Bakra (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started the prayer and said the opening takbir, then gestured to them to stay in their places. He went in and came out with his head dripping, then led them in prayer. When the prayer was complete, he said: 'I am only a human being, and I was in a state of ritual impurity.'
