English translation

206. 'Alī reported: "I was a person who continually used to discharge pre-seminal fluid. I used to perform Ghusl (every time this occurred) until my back began to hurt. So I mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ, or it was mentioned to him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ responded: 'Don't do that! If you see the pre-seminal fluid, then wash your penis, and perform the Wudū' of prayer. And if you ejaculate, then perform Ghusl.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

٢٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنِ الرَّكِينِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً فَجَعَلْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ حَتَّى تَشَقَّقَ ظَهْرِي، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَوْ ذُكِرَ لَهُ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَفْعَلْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَذْيَ فَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ، وَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ، فَإِذَا فَضَخْتَ الْمَاءَ فَاغْتَسِلْ»

Commentary

Manī; (sperm or semen) is the liquid that gushes forth. Madhi is pre-seminal fluid. Ghusl is required for the occurrence of Manī, not for Madhi, while it does require washing the area and performing Wudū' as the following Hadith shows.
