عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَتْ مُجَاوِرَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَتْ تَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا فِي الْمَنَامِ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهَا أَعَلَيْهَا غُسْلٌ؟ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكِ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ! فَضَحْتِ النِّسَاءَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ نَسْأَلِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمَّا أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ نَكُونَ مِنْهُ عَلَى عَمْيَاءَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ: ((أَنْتِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكِ، نَعَمْ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ! عَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ إِذَا وَجَدَتِ الْمَاءَ)) فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَهَلْ لِلْمَرْأَةِ مَاءٌ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((فَأَنَّى يَأْتِي شَبَهُ الْخُوْلَةِ إِلَّا مِنْ ذَلِكَ، أَيُّ النُّطَفَتَيْنِ سَبَقَتْ إِلَى الرَّحِمِ غَلَبَتْ عَلَى الشَّبَهِ))
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.
