607 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِ سُعَادَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْمَاءُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ»

Commentary
The Ahādīth imply that no bath is obligatory for a man who was in the process of intercourse with his wife but had to leave it midway before ejaculation for some reason. However, the concession belongs to the early days of Islam which was later abolished. Now the ruling is that, ejaculation or no ejaculation, bath becomes obligatory by the mere consummation of the intercourse.
