English narration

Narrated by أم سلمة زوج النبي

Um-Sulaim came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "Verily, Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge?) The Prophet replied, "Yes, if she notices a discharge." Um Salama, then covered her face and asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Does a woman get a discharge?" He replied, "Yes, let your right hand be in dust (An Arabic expression you say to a person when you contradict his statement meaning "you will not achieve goodness"), and that is why the son resembles his mother."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَامٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : جَاءَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، "

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ ، فَهَلْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ مِنْ غُسْلٍ إِذَا احْتَلَمَتْ ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ ، فَغَطَّتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ تَعْنِي وَجْهَهَا ، وَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَوَتَحْتَلِمُ الْمَرْأَةُ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ فَبِمَ يُشْبِهُهَا وَلَدُهَا
