295 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْجَزَرِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كُنْتُ أَغْسِلُ الْجَنَابَةَ مِنْ ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَإِنَّ بُقَعَ الْمَاءِ لَفِي ثَوْبِهِ»

Commentary
1. Some scholars, who consider Ibn 'Abbās to be their predecessor in this regard, consider semen to be pure. That semen should be washed does not prove that it is an impure substance. When dirt from the nose or sputum sullies a garment, the garment should be washed, even though those substances are not impure. Furthermore, 'Āishah ﷺ has often mentioned that scraping away and rubbing off a semen stain is sufficient. 2. It is not necessary to wash the entire garment; only the affected portion should be washed.
