Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26271

Ahmad bin Mani’ told us, Hammad bin Khalid Al-Khayyat told us, on the authority of Abdullah bin Omar, he is Al-Amri, on the authority of Ubaid Allah bin Omar, on the authority of Al-Qasim bin Muhammad, on the authority of Aisha, who said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was asked about a man who finds himself wet but does not remember a wet dream. He said: “ “He performs ablution.” On the authority of a man who sees that he has had a wet dream and does not find any wetness, he said, “He does not have to perform ablution.” Umm Salamah said, “O Messenger of God.” Is it necessary for the woman to perform this ritual ablution? He said, “Yes, women are the sisters of men.” Abu Issa said, “This hadith was only narrated by Abd Allah ibn Umar, on the authority of Ubayd Allah ibn Umar, the hadith of Aisha about a man who finds wetness but does not remember a wet dream. And Abdullah ibn Umar was weakened by Yahya Ibn Sa`id, before he memorized the hadith. This is the opinion of more than one of the scholars among the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. And the Followers: If a man wakes up and sees wetness, he should take a bath. This is the view of Sufyan al-Thawri and Ahmad. Some of the people of knowledge said Of the Followers, it is only obligatory for him to wash if the affliction is the affliction of a sperm. This is the view of Al-Shafi’i and Ishaq. And if he sees He had a wet dream and did not see a wet dream, so he does not have to do ghusl according to most scholars.
