لَقِيَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حُذَيْفَةَ فَمَدَّ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَدَهُ فَكَفَّ حُذَيْفَةُ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَا حُذَيْفَةُ بَسَطْتُ يَدِي إِلَيْكَ فَكَفَفْتَ يَدَكَ عَنِّي فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِيَدِكَ الرَّغْبَةُ وَ لَكِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُباً فَلَمْ أُحِبَّ أَنْ تَمَسَّ يَدِي يَدَكَ وَ أَنَا جُنُبٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَ مَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْمُسْلِمَيْنِ إِذَا الْتَقَيَا فَتَصَافَحَا تَحَاتَّتْ ذُنُوبُهُمَا كَمَا يَتَحَاتُّ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Ibn Al Qaddah, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The Prophet<sup>saww</sup> met Huzayfa. So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> extended his<sup>saww</sup> hand, but Juzayfa withheld his hand. So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘O Huzayfa! I<sup>saww</sup> extended my<sup>saww</sup> hand towards you, but you withheld your hand from me<sup>saww</sup>?’ So Huzayfa said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! In you hand is the desire (to greet me), but I was with sexual impurity, so I did not like my hand to touch yours<sup>saww</sup> while I was with sexual impurity’. So the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘But, do you not know that the Muslims, when two meet and shake hands, their sins fall off just like the falling off of the leaves of the tree?’
