Sunan Abi Dawud 4176

Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us: Hammad narrated to us: Ata al-Khurasani informed us, from Yahya ibn Yamar, from Ammar ibn Yasir, who said: I arrived home at night with my hands cracked, and my family applied saffron to them. In the morning I went to the Prophet ﷺ and greeted him, but he did not return my greeting or welcome me. He said, “Go and wash this off.” I went and washed it, then returned with some stain still remaining. I greeted him, but he did not return my greeting or welcome me. He said, “Go and wash this off.” I went and washed it, then returned and greeted him. He returned my greeting and welcomed me, saying, “Angels do not attend with any good a funeral of an unbeliever, a person stained with saffron, or a person in a state of major ritual impurity.” He added that permission was given to a person in major ritual impurity to perform ablution when sleeping, eating, or drinking.
