"I was one who had a lot of prostatic discharge, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'If you see Madhi (prostatic fluid) then wash your penis and perform Wudu' like that for Salah, but if you ejaculate semen, then perform Ghusl.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 193)

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَفْعَلْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَذْيَ فَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ وَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا نَضَحْتَ الْمَاءَ فَاغْتَسِلْ

My prostatic fluid flowed excessively. I used to take a bath until my back cracked (because of frequent washing). I mentioned it to the prophet (May peace be upon him), or the fact was mentioned to him (by someone else). The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said; Do not do so. When you find prostatic fluid, wash your penis and perform ablution as you do for your prayer, but when you have seminal emission, you should take a bath.

I was a man who emitted a great deal of madhi, so I asked the Prophet ﷺ and he said: “If you see madhi then do wudoo’ and wash your private part, and if you see water gushing then do ghusl.ʿ I [the narrator] mentioned that to Sufyan and he said: I heard that from Rukain. Muʿawiyah and ibn Abi Bukair told us: Zaʿidah told us: ar-Rukain bin ar-Rabee bin ‘Ameelah al-Fazari told us... And he mentioned a similar report, and they said: water gushing. And Ibn Abu Bukair told us: Zaʿidah told us, and he also said, gushing. (Using translation from Aḥmad 1028)

I was a man who emitted a great deal of madhi and I started to do ghusl in the winter, until the skin of my back became cracked. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, or it was mentioned to him, and he said: “Do not do that. If you see madhi, then wash your private part and do wudoo’ as for prayer, but if water gushes out, then do ghusl.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 868)
