(قلت: إسناده صحيح على شرط الشيخين. وقال الإسماعيلي: "صحيح على شرط البخاري"، وصححه ابن خزيمة وابن حبان (١١٧٦) والبيهقي، وقال الحافظ: "هو إسناد صالح لأن يحتج به"، وصححه الدارقطني أيضًا وأبو حاتم الرازي؛ حيث جعله ناسخًا لحديث أبي سعيد الخدري الآتي (رقم ٢١١))

215. Saḥl bin Sa'd said: "Ubayy bin Ka'b narrated to me: 'The verdict that used to be given, that: "Water is only (necessary) for water," was a concession that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ allowed during the early (days of) Islam, then he used to order Ghusl.'" (Saḥih)
215 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الْبَزَّازُ الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرٌ الْحَلَبِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبِي غَسَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، «أَنَّ الْفُتْيَا الَّتِي كَانُوا يَفْتُونَ، أَنَّ الْمَاءَ مِنَ المَاءِ، كَانَتْ رُخْصَةً رَخَّصَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي بَدْءِ الْإِسْلَامِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالِاغْتِسَالِ بَعْدُ»

During the early days of Islam, couples were not obliged to perform Ghusl if copulation did not end in ejaculation. "Water is only (necessary) for water" expressed this ruling, meaning the water for Ghusl is only required for the water of ejaculation. This ruling was abrogated by Aḥādīth that say: "When the circumcised part touches the circumcised part, Ghusl has become obligatory."
