حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ، وَأُمُّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَا النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُدْرِكُهُ الْفَجْرُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ فَيَصُومُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَقَدْ قَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ جُنُبًا يَقْضِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ . وَالْقَوْلُ الأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 779
This Hadith discusses a fasting-related situation clearly. Aishah and Umm Salamah informed Abu Bakr bin Abdur-Rahman that the Prophet would reach Fajr while he was junub from relations with his wives. Then he would perform ghusl and fast. People search for fasting while junub at Fajr hadith, can you fast if junub after Fajr, and ghusl after Fajr fasting hadith. The Hadith focuses on the sequence: Fajr came while the Prophet was junub, then he performed ghusl, then he fasted. The explanation should stay with that wording. It shows that the state mentioned at Fajr did not stop the Prophet from fasting in this narrated case.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet reached Fajr while junub in the situation described.
- He then performed ghusl and fasted.
- The Hadith gives a clear sequence for this fasting-related matter.
- The report comes from Aishah and Umm Salamah, the wives of the Prophet.
