A different hadith is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: On a Monday, we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) towards Quba. We passed through the locality of Banu Salim. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at the door of Banu 'Itban and called out loudly to Ibn 'Itban, while he was with his wife. Anyway, he came out dragging his sheet. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him, he said: We have hurried this man. Then Sayyiduna Ibn 'Itban (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion about a man who has intercourse with his wife but does not ejaculate—what is obligatory upon him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The obligation of ghusl (ritual bath) is only due to the emission of semen.
