ahmad:811ʿAbdullāh > Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar al-Warkānī > Abū Shihāb al-Ḥannāṭ ʿAbd Rabbih b. Nāfiʿ > al-Ḥajjāj b. Arṭāh > Abū Yaʿlá > Muḥammad Ibn al-Ḥanafiyyah > ʿAlī b. Abū Ṭālib > Lammā Aʿyānī Amr al-Madhy Amart al-Miqdād

When the issue of madhi bothered me a great deal, I told al-Miqdad to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, and he said: ʿWudooʿ is due for it.ʿ He felt shy [to ask about this matter] because of Fatimah.  

أحمد:٨١١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْوَرْكَانِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ الْحَنَّاطُ عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ بْنِ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا أَعْيَانِي أَمْرُ الْمَذْيِ أَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنْهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ منهِ الْوُضُوءُ اسْتِحْيَاءً مِنْ أَجْلِ فَاطِمَةَ

I felt shy of asking about prostatic fluid from the Apostle ﷺ because of Fatimah. I, therefore, asked al-Miqdad (to ask on my behalf) and he asked. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Ablution is obligatory in such a case.  

مسلم:٣٠٣bوَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُنْذِرًا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ

"I felt too shy to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Madhi because of Fatimah, so I told Al-Miqdad to ask him, and he said: 'Wudu' (is required) for that.'"
