عُبَيْدُ بْنُ السَّبَّاقِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ

I felt greatly distressed by the frequent flowing of prostatic fluid. For this reason I used to take a bath very often. I asked the apostle of Allah ﷺ about this. He replied: Ablution will be sufficient for you because of this. I asked: Messenger of Allah, what should I do if it smears my clothes. He replied: It is sufficient if you take a handful of water and sprinkle it on your clothe when you find it has smeared it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 210)

كُنْتُ أَلْقَى مِنَ الْمَذْيِ شِدَّةً وَكُنْتُ كَثِيرًا أَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوُضُوءَ» زَادَ يَزِيدُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ بِمَا يُصِيبُ ثَوْبِي مِنْهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ كَفٌّ مِنْ مَاءٍ تَنْضَحُ بِهِ ثَوْبَكَ حَيْثُ تَرَاهُ أَصَابَ»

"I suffered from a severe and troubling case of Al-Madhi. I was performing Ghusl often because of it. So I mentioned that to Messenger of Allah and asked him about it. He said: "You only need to perform Wudu for that." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! How about when it gets on my clothes?" He said: "It is sufficient for you to take a handful of water and sprinkle it n your garment wherever you see that it has touched it."
