Sunan Ibn Majah 594

Muhammad ibn Bashshar reported to us; Muhammad ibn Jafar reported to us; Shubah reported to us, from Amr ibn Murrah, from Abdullah ibn Salamah, who said: ‘I visited Ali ibn Abi Talib, and he said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would go to the privy and relieve himself, then come out, eat bread and meat with us, and recite the Quran. Nothing kept him from the Quran”—or perhaps he said, “Nothing prevented him from it”—“except major ritual impurity.”’
