"عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ رَجُل وَقَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْ غَائِطٍ أَوْ بَوْلٍ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْه فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَتَوَارَى في السِّكَةِ، ضَرَبَ بِيَده غَلَى الْحَائطِ وَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ ضَرْبَة أُخْرَى فَمَسْحَ ذرَاعَيْهِ، ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ السَّلاَمَ فَقَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنعْنِى أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمَ إِلَّا أنِّى لَمْ أَكنْ عَلَى طُهْرٍ".

“On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, who said: A man passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, having just come out from relieving himself or urinating, and he greeted him with salam, but he did not return the greeting. When the man had gone into the lane, he struck the wall with his hand and wiped his face, then struck it a second time and wiped his forearms, then returned the greeting to the man, saying: What prevented me from returning your greeting was only that I was not in a state of purity.”
