19. Āishah said: "Encourage your husbands to clean themselves with water, for I am too shy of them, and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would do that." (Sahīh)
There are narrations on this topic from Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh Al-Bajalī, Anas, and Abū Hurairah.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣahīh.

This is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq.
