IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-151: KISAH NABI SOLAT DALAM KEADAAN BERJUNUB
Is the narration that the Prophet began the Fajr prayer in a state of janabah out of forgetfulness authentic?
Short answer
The narration by al-Thabarani in al-Awsath and al-Saghir has a defect in its text because its meaning conflicts with the reports in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.

Summary
The narration by al-Thabarani in al-Awsath and al-Saghir has a defect in its text because its meaning conflicts with the reports in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Its chain is mursal, as the companion's name is missing, and al-Haythami noted that some narrators in it are unknown to him. The sound reports state that the Prophet remembered before saying the opening takbir and left to bathe, while reports in Abu Daud and Ibn Majah place this after the takbir. Al-Tahawi reconciled them by reading Abu Bakrah's report as referring to the time when the Prophet was about to begin the prayer, not already in it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
riwayat tersebut mempunyai sedikit kecacatan pada matan kerana riwayat yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam al-Thabarani itu bertentangan dari sudut maksudnya dengan riwayat yang terdapat di dalam sahih al-Bukhari dan sahih Muslim.
