Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), was her neighbor and she used to visit her. One day, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the house and Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion regarding this: if a woman sees in a dream that her husband is having intercourse with her, should she perform ghusl (ritual bath)? Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: May your hands be soiled, O Umm Sulaym! You have disgraced women in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Indeed, Allah does not shy away from the truth, and if we ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about our doubts, it is better than that we remain ignorant and blind about them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her): Rather, may your hands be soiled! Yes, Umm Sulaym, when such a woman feels the discharge of semen, then ghusl is obligatory upon her. Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! Does a woman also have discharge? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then how does her child resemble her? In this matter, women are like men.
