I had a sexual dream on a cold night in the battle of Dhat as-Salasil. I was afraid, if I washed I would die. I, therefore, performed tayammum and led my companions in the dawn prayer. They mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Amr, you led your companions is prayer while you were sexually defiled? I informed him of the cause which impeded me from washing. And I said: I heard Allah say: "Do not kill yourself, verily Allah is merciful to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and did not say anything. Abu Dawud said: 'Abd al-Rahman b.

احْتَلَمْتُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ السَّلاَسِلِ فَأَشْفَقْتُ إِنِ اغْتَسَلْتُ أَنْ أَهْلِكَ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ بِأَصْحَابِي الصُّبْحَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا عَمْرُو صَلَّيْتَ بِأَصْحَابِكَ وَأَنْتَ جُنُبٌ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي مَنَعَنِي مِنَ الاِغْتِسَالِ وَقُلْتُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ { وَلاَ تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا } فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا  

[Machine] He said, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him in the year of the delegations, he said: "I had a wet dream on a cold and extremely cold night, so I feared that if I performed ablution, it would harm me. So I performed dry ablution (tayammum) and then prayed the morning prayer with my companions. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I mentioned this to him. He said, "O 'Amr, did you pray with your companions while you were in a state of impurity?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah. I had a wet dream on a cold and extremely cold night, so I was afraid that if I performed ablution, it would harm me." And I remembered the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): "And do not kill yourselves. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful." [Quran 4:29] So I performed dry ablution and then prayed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and did not say anything.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ ذَاتِ السَّلَاسِلِ قَالَ فَاحْتَلَمْتُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ شَدِيدَةِ الْبَرْدِ فَأَشْفَقْتُ إِنْ اغْتَسَلْتُ أَنْ أَهْلَكَ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ بِأَصْحَابِيصَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ يَا عَمْرُو صَلَّيْتَ بِأَصْحَابِكَ وَأَنْتَ جُنُبٌ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي احْتَلَمْتُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ شَدِيدَةِ الْبَرْدِ فَأَشْفَقْتُ إِنْ اغْتَسَلْتُ أَنْ أَهْلَكَ وَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ اللهِ ﷻ {وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا} [النساء 29] فَتَيَمَّمْتُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا
