Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him) asked Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) that if a person has intercourse and semen does not come out. He replied: He should perform ablution as he does for prayer, and wash his private part. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) says that (this) I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a man sits between the four parts of a woman and exerts himself for intercourse with her, then ghusl (ritual bath) becomes obligatory.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate the shoulder of a goat, then performed prayer and did not perform ablution.

Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the Noble Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cutting pieces from the shoulder of a goat and eating them. Then he was called for prayer, so he put down the knife and performed the prayer; he did not perform a new ablution.

Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ate (the shoulder of a goat) at her place, then performed prayer and did not perform ablution.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drank milk, then rinsed his mouth and said: "It contains fat."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a person who thinks that something (i.e., wind) has passed during prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He should not turn away (from prayer) or leave, unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a goat belonging to the slave woman of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), which had been given in charity, lying dead. Upon this, he said, "Why do you not make use of its skin?" The people said, "It is dead." He replied, "Its consumption is forbidden, but not its use."

The purified wife of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on a journey (the expedition of Banu Al-Mustaliq). When we reached the place of Bayda or Dhat al-Jaysh, my necklace was lost. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stayed there to look for it, and the people also stayed with him. But there was no water nearby. The people came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: What has Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) done that she has made the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and all the people stop, and there is no water anywhere nearby, nor do the people have any with them? Then Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was resting his blessed head on my knee and was sleeping. He (Abu Bakr) said: You have held up the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and all the people, while there is no water anywhere nearby, nor do the people have any. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: My respected father (may Allah be pleased with him) was very angry with me, and he said to me whatever Allah willed, and he poked me in my side with his hand. The blessed head of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was on my thigh, so I could not move. When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) woke up in the morning, there was still no sign of water. So Allah the Exalted revealed the verse of tayammum, and the people performed tayammum. Upon this, Usayd ibn Hudayr said: O family of Abu Bakr, this is not your first blessing. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then we moved the camel on which I was riding, and the necklace was found underneath it.

Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I was present in the company of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Musa said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "If a person is in need of ghusl and does not find water for a whole month, should he not perform tayammum and pray?" Shaqiq says that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud replied: "He should not perform tayammum, even if he does not find water for a month (and should suspend the prayer)." Upon this, Abu Musa said: "Then what is the meaning of this verse in Surah Al-Ma'idah: 'If you do not find water, then perform tayammum with clean earth'?" Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If people are given this permission, then soon it will happen that whenever they find the water cold, they will perform tayammum with earth." The narrator states: "I said, so you dislike tayammum for a person in the state of janabah?" He said: "Yes." Then Sayyiduna Abu Musa said: "Do you not know the statement of Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) before Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): 'The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me for a task, and during the journey I needed to perform ghusl but did not find water, so I rolled in the earth like an animal. Then I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: 'It would have been sufficient for you to do this,' and he struck his hands on the earth once, then shook them off, then wiped the back of his right hand with his left or wiped his left hand with his right, then wiped his face with both hands.'" Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Do you not see that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was not satisfied with Ammar's statement?"
