Musnad Ahmad 1826

Translation

✧ Ya'la b. 'Uqba had intercourse during Ramadan and woke up in a state of major ritual impurity. He met Abu Hurayra and asked him, and he said: Should I break the fast? He said: Should I not fast this day and make it up on another day? He said: Break the fast. [He said:] Then he came to Marwan and told him, so Marwan sent Abu Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Harith to the Mother of the Believers, and he asked her. She said: He would sometimes wake up among us in a state of major ritual impurity without a wet dream, then he would wake up fasting. So he returned to Marwan and told him. He said: Confront Abu Hurayra with it. He said: My neighbor, my neighbor. He said: I adjure you to confront him with it. He said: So he met him and told him. He said: I did not hear it from the Prophet ﷺ; it was only al-Fadl b. 'Abbas who informed me of it. He said: Later I met Raja' and said: The hadith of Ya'la, who narrated it to you? He said: He narrated it to me himself.
