Arabic text

199 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِ سُعَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْمَاءُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ»

Commentary

This Hadīth alludes to wet dreams, and has nothing to do with sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse always results in it becoming obligatory to perform a purificatory bath. Otherwise, this report will have to be designated as being abrogated. This is because many authentic Ahādīth make it clear that, during sexual intercourse, the touching of the sexual organs together, and not the release of sexual fluids, results in it becoming obligatory for one to perform the purificatory bath. And those narrations are supported by the consensus of the people of knowledge.
