580 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ حُرَيْثٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَدْفِئُ بِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَغْتَسِلَ» بَابٌ فِي الْجُنُبِ يَنَامُ كَهَيْئَتِهِ لَا يَمَسُّ مَاءً

Commentary
It has already been stated (Ahādīth 534 & 535) that the body of a sexually impure person is not impure. Unlike the palpable and observable uncleanliness caused by urine, impurity caused by sexual activity is an impalpable and unobservable matter. As such there is no harm if a person who has taken a bath shares the bed with his sexually impure wife. Nevertheless, the narration is Weak. As such we should avoid quoting it as a Hadīth of the Prophet ﷺ.
