English translation
115. Sahl bin Hunaif said: "I suffered from a severe and troubling case of Al-Madhi. I was performing Ghusl often because of it. So I mentioned that to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and asked him about it. He said: "You only need to perform Wudū for that." I said: "O Messenger of Allāh! How about when it gets on my clothes?" He said: "It is sufficeint for you to take a handful of water and sprinkle it on your garment wherever you see that it has touched it." (Hasan) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. We do not know of anything like this except from the Hadīth of Muhammad bin Iṣhāq about Al-Madhī. The people of knowledge differ about Al-Madhī which touches the garment. Some of them say that nothing is acceptable but washing it. This is the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i and Iṣhāq. Some of them say one may sprinkle it. Aḥmad said: "I hope that sprinkling it with water is acceptable."
