Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 3 - Hadith 17-20

 

Chapter 4: Madhi (prostatic fluid).

 

'Ali reported:

 

I was one whose prostatic fluid flowed readily and I was ashamed to ask the Apostle (ﷺ) about it, because of the position of his daughter. I, therefore, asked Miqdad. b. al-Asad and he inquired of him (the Holy Prophet). He (the Holy Prophet) said: He should wash his male organ and perform ablution. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 3 - Hadith 17)

 

'Ali reported:

 

I felt shy of asking about prostatic fluid from the Apostle (ﷺ) because of Fatimah. I, therefore, asked al-Miqdad (to ask on my behalf) and he asked. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Ablution is obligatory in such a case. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 3 - Hadith 18)

 

Ibn 'Abbas reported it from 'Ali:

 

We sent al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to ask him what must be done about prostatic fluid which flows from (the private part of) a person. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Perform ablution and wash your sexual organ. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 3 - Hadith 19)

Ibn 'Abbas reported:

 

The Apostle (ﷺ) woke up at night; relieved himself, and then washed his face and hands and then again slept. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 3 - Hadith 20)
