539 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَجِدُهُ فِي ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَحُتُّهُ عَنْهُ»

Commentary
The ruling relates to a situation where the substance is thick enough to be scratched off. If it is thin, it penetrates into the texture of the clothing and leaves its mark. It would not, therefore, disappear by mere rubbing it or scratching it. In that case, it would be better to wash off the relevant portion of the garment in order to ensure its purity.
