Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَشَشْتُ يَوْمًا فَقَبَّلْتُ وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ صَنَعْتُ الْيَوْمَ أَمْرًا عَظِيمًا قَبَّلْتُ وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ تَمَضْمَضْتَ بِمَاءٍ وَأَنْتَ صَائِمٌ فَقُلْتُ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفِيمَ‏.‏

Translation

Hajjaj narrated to us; Layth narrated to us; Bukayr related to me, from ‘Abd al-Malik ibn Sa‘id al-Ansari, from Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah, from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: One day I felt a desire and kissed while I was fasting. I went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said, “Today I have done something grave: I kissed while fasting.” The Messenger of Allah said, “What do you think if you rinse your mouth with water while fasting?” I said, “There is no harm in that.” The Messenger of Allah said, “Then why [do you worry]?”’
