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.
