Arabic text

504 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمَذْيِ فَقَالَ: «فِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ، وَفِي الْمَنِيِّ الْغُسْلُ»

Commentary

a. Prostatic fluid is a sticky fluid that appears on the male organ during sexual foreplay with one's wife. Its appearance does not diminish sexual desire. Semen, on the other hand, is a thick whitish fluid produced in the male productive organs and discharged at the completion of the sexual act. b. Prostatic fluid does not necessitate the bath; mere ablution is enough. Ablution has the benefit of diverting a person's attention and putting an end to sexual excitation.
