It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any woman among you sees such a dream and then experiences discharge, she should perform ghusl (ritual bath). Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! Does this also happen to women? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, the fluid of a man is white and thick, and the fluid of a woman is yellow and thin. Whichever of them prevails, the child resembles that one.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): If a woman experiences a wet dream and sees fluid, should she perform ghusl (ritual bath)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Yes. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to that woman: May your hands be dusted, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Leave this woman (she is right). It is for this reason that resemblance occurs: when the woman’s fluid prevails over the man’s fluid, the child resembles the maternal uncles, and when the man’s fluid prevails over the woman’s fluid, the child’s resemblance is to him.

It is narrated from Sayyida Khawlah bint Hakim (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) about a woman who sees in a dream what a man sees. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: There is no ghusl (ritual bath) upon her until fluid is discharged, just as there is no ghusl upon a man until he experiences ejaculation.

(Second chain) Sayyida Khawla bint Hakim Sulamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was an aunt of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), asked him (peace and blessings be upon him) about a woman who experiences a wet dream. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She should perform ghusl (ritual bath).

Abdullah bin Salamah says: I and two men, all of us went to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). One man was from my tribe and, as I think, the other was from Banu Asad. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent them to one side and said to them: Both of you are strong men, so work diligently in the task I am sending you for. Then he went to a place to relieve himself, relieved himself, then came out from there and took a handful of water and washed his hands with it, and then began to recite the Holy Qur’an. When he saw that we did not understand his action correctly, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would also recite the Holy Qur’an after relieving himself and would eat meat with us, and nothing except major ritual impurity (janabah) would prevent him (peace and blessings be upon him) from reciting the Holy Qur’an.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach us the Noble Qur'an, except when he was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah).

Abu Ghuraif says: Water for ablution was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He rinsed his mouth and put water into his nose three times each, washed his face three times, washed his hands and forearms three times, then wiped his head, and then washed his feet. Then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performing ablution in this manner. Then, after reciting some verses of the Noble Qur’an, he said: Only that person can recite this who is not in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah). As for the one who is in a state of janabah, he cannot recite, not even a single verse.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Angels do not enter a house in which there is a person in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), an image, or a dog.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) instructed Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so he prepared the water for the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) bath. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) gave him a cloth and said: Cover me with this and turn your back towards me.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Indeed, when Musa bin Imran (peace be upon him) intended to enter the water, he would not remove his clothes until he had covered the private parts with water.
