ahmad:27118Abū al-Mughīrah > al-Awzāʿī > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah al-Anṣārī > Jaddatih Um Sulaym

[Machine] Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , used to have conversations with her mother. One day, the Prophet ﷺ entered while they were talking and Um Salama asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a woman sees her husband having intercourse with her in a dream? Should she perform ghusl (ritual washing)?" Um Salama commented, "May your hands be covered in dirt, O Um Salama! You have embarrassed women in front of the Messenger of Allah." Um Salama replied, "Verily, Allah is not too shy to state the truth. If we cannot ask the Prophet ﷺ about what confuses us, it is better for us to be blind. The Prophet ﷺ then said to Um Salama, "No, you are correct, O Um Salama. She must perform ghusl if she finds water." Um Salama then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, does a woman have any water?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "How can she be compared to her offspring? They are the counterparts of men."  

أحمد:٢٧١١٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَتْ

كَانَتْ مُجَاوِرَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَتْ تَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا يُجَامِعُهَا فِي الْمَنَامِ أَتَغْتَسِلُ؟ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكِ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَضَحْتِ النِّسَاءَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِنَّ اللهَ لَايَسْتَحِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا إِنْ نَسْأَلِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَمَّا أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ نَكُونَ مِنْهُ عَلَى عَمْيَاءَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ بَلْ أَنْتِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكِ نَعَمْ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ عَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ إِذَا وَجَدَتِ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ مَاءٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَنَّى يُشْبِهُهَا وَلَدُهَا هُنَّ شَقَائِقُ الرِّجَالِ

darimi:791Muḥammad b. Kathīr > al-Awzāʿī > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah > Anas

[Machine] Umm Salamah entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while Umm Salimah was with him. The woman said, "Do women see in their dreams what men see?" Umm Salamah said, "May your hands be covered in dust, O Umm Salimah. You have caused disturbance among women." The Prophet ﷺ replied, supporting Umm Salimah, "No, indeed it is your hands that should be covered in dust, for you have asked about what concerns you when you see water. Therefore, you should perform ablution." Umm Salimah asked, "Do women have water available?" He replied, "Yes, how can they resemble boys? They are the counterparts of men."  

الدارمي:٧٩١أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

[Machine] She came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in the house of Umm Salamah, and there were some people sitting with him. I sat until they left, then I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I will not leave any matter that enlightens me in my religion and brings me closer to Allah, without asking about it. What do you think about a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees? Should she perform ghusl (ritual cleansing)?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If she sees water, then she should perform ghusl." Umm Salamah said, "May your hands be rubbed with soil, O Umm Sulaym! You have embarrassed the women." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Rather, may your hands be rubbed with soil. If it were not for that, a child would not resemble his mother."
