حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عُرْوَةُ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، " أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةَ هِيَ أُمُّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ ، أَرَأَيْتَ الْمَرْأَةَ إِذَا رَأَتْ فِي النَّوْمِ مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ ، أَتَغْتَسِلُ أَمْ لَا ؟ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : نَعَمْ ، فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ إِذَا وَجَدَتِ الْمَاءَ ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : فَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقُلْتُ : أُفٍّ لَكِ ، وَهَلْ تَرَى ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ ؟ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ ، وَمِنْ أَيْنَ يَكُونُ الشَّبَهُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَى عُقيْلٌ ، وَالزُّبَيْدِيُّ ،وَيُونُسُ ، وَابْنُ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَزِيرِ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، وَوَافَقَ الزُّهْرِيُّ مُسَافِعًا الْحَجَبِيَّ ، قَالَ : عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ،عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، وَأَمَّا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، فَقَالَ : عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ جَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Aishah reported on the authority of Umm Sulaim al-Ansariyah, who was the mother of Anas bin Malik, said: Messenger of Allah. Allah is not ashamed of truth what do you think, if a woman sees what a man sees in dream, should she take a bath or not? The prophet ﷺ replied: Yes, she should take a bath if she finds the liquid (vaginal secretion) Aishah said: Then I came upon her and said her: Woe to you! Does a woman see that (sexual dream)? In the meantime, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon me and said: May your right hand be covered with dust! How can there be the resemblance (i. e., between the child and the mother)? Abu Dawud said: A similar version has been narrated by Zubaid, ‘Uqail, Yunus, cousin of Al-Zuhri, Ibn Abi-Wazir, on the authority of al-Zuhr, musan, al-Hajabi, like al-Zuhri, narrated on the authority of Urwah from Aishah, but Hisham bin Urwah narrated from Urwah on the authority of Zainab daughter of Abu Salamah from Umm Salamah saying. Umm Sulaim came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Imam Abu Dawud rahimahullah, in his discussion, mentions the difference of opinion between Zuhri and Hisham bin Urwah regarding whether this conversation is attributed to Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha or Sayyidah Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha. According to the Imam, preference is given to the narration of Zuhri, that is, the conversation of Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha. He has mentioned supporting evidences for this. However, according to the research of Qadi Iyad, this conversation took place between Sayyidah Umm Salamah and Umm Sulaym. In this way, preference would be given to the narration of Hisham bin Urwah, and Imam Bukhari rahimahullah also inclines towards this view. [صحيح بخاري حديث : 130]
However, Allamah Nawawi has said that it is quite possible that both were present on this occasion and both expressed their amazement. «والله اعلم» [عون المعبود]
➋ The statement of Sayyidah Umm Sulaym radi Allahu anha, which she made before her question, “Allah does not shy away from the truth,” is evidence of her perfect and beautiful etiquette; that is, the matter which is not customarily spoken of, but I have a religious need for it, so it should be explained.
➌ The amazement expressed by the Mothers of the Believers at this question is proof that they were “of the highest degree of purity and chastity,” to such an extent that even in dreams, the thought of anything bad never occurred to them. [من افادات الشيخ سلطان محمود رحمه الله]
