[Machine] From Abdullah in his statement of Allah Almighty: "Or if you have been intimate with women" [Quran 4:43], he said, "This refers to anything less than sexual intercourse, and in this case, ablution is required."  

الحاكم:٤٦٩ – وَمِنْهَا مَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَنْبَأَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْأَسْفَاطِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {أَوْ لَامَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ} [النساء 43] قَالَ «هُوَ مَا دُونَ الْجِمَاعِ وَفِيهِ الْوُضُوءُ»

[Machine] In His saying, exalted be He, "{or you have touched women}" [Women 4:43], the meaning is that which is less than sexual intercourse.  

البيهقي:٦٠٦ – وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {أَوْ لَامَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ} [النساء 43] قَوْلًا مَعْنَاهُ مَا دُونَ الْجِمَاعِ
