Hadith 29
Bathing (Ghusl)
Narrated Ubai bin Ka`b:
I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about a man who engages in sexual intercourse with his wife but does not discharge. He replied, "He should wash the parts which comes in contact with the private parts of the woman, perform ablution and then pray." (Abu `Abdullah said, "Taking a bath is safer and is the last order.")
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَامَعَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَلَمْ يُنْزِلْ قَالَ
يَغْسِلُ مَا مَسَّ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي
