116. Hammām bin Al-Hārīth narrated: "Āishah had a guest to whom she lent a yellow wrap for him to sleep in. He had a wet dream, and was too embarrassed to send it to her while the traces of the wet dream were present on it. So he submerged it (washing it) in water, then he sent it to her. 'Āishah said, "Why did he ruin our garment? It would have been sufficeint for him to scrape it off with his fingers. Sometimes I would scrape it off of the garment of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ with my fingers." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
This is the saying of more than one [of the Companions of the Prophet
ﷺ and the Tābi'īn and those who followed them] among the Fuqahā', like Sufyān [Ath-Thawrī, Ash-Shāfi'ī], Aḥmad, and Ishāq. They say in the case of Al-Manī that touches the garment, it is acceptable to scrape it if it is not washed.
Similar to this was reported from Maṣṣūr; from Ibrāhīm, from Hammām bin Al-Ḥārith from 'Āishah, and it is similar to the narration of Al-A'mash, (a narrator in this chain).
Abū Ma'shar reported this Ḥadīth from Ibrāhīm, from Al-Aswad, from 'Āishah, and the Ḥadīth of Al-A'mash is more correct.

Commentary
There are some other things too, which are washed or scratched just because of personal detestation and disliking, while they are pure; like: mucus or coughing phlegm, or a hand if it touches the private part, or drops of curry etc. falling on clothes. However the semen, philosophically and theologically, are pure or impure but a person naturally likes to get rid of its traces; and its traces are deleted only by washing it properly.
