Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would kiss (his wife) while he was in a state of fasting, then after that he would perform prayer and would not perform ablution again. There are several errors in this from various aspects.

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): In his view, performing wudu is not obligatory after kissing.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Wudu does not become obligatory by kissing." This narration is authentic.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: One night I did not find the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the bed. I searched for him with my hand and my hand touched his feet, which were in the position of prostration. I heard him supplicating: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your displeasure, and in Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You as You have praised Yourself." There are some differences in the chain of narration of this report.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Sometimes the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would perform ghusl (ritual bath) for janabah (major impurity) during the cold season, and I had not yet performed ghusl for janabah. He would come to me, and I would embrace him and warm his body.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Once, I did not find the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on my bed, so I got up. I thought that he might have gone to his slave woman Maria. I got up and began to feel along the walls, because in those days we did not have lamps like you people do. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was in the state of prostration. I placed my hand on the back of his feet, and he was supplicating in prostration: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your forgiveness from Your punishment, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your displeasure, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You as You have praised Yourself." One of the narrators of this narration, Faraj bin Fadalah (may Allah have mercy on him), is weak. Some other narrators have transmitted it as a mursal (disconnected) hadith.

Salim narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both): He said regarding a man kissing his wife and touching her with his hand: "This is included in 'lamas' (touching), so whoever kisses his wife or touches her with his hand, then ablution (wudu) becomes obligatory upon him." This narration is authentic.
