From a son of Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him), this statement of Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) is narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me while I was with my wife. I got up, and I had not yet ejaculated; I took a ritual bath (ghusl) and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I told him that when he called me I was with my wife, that I got up before I had ejaculated, and that I took a ritual bath. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There would have been no sin on you, for water (the bath) is required because of water (ejaculation)." Sayyiduna Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Later the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to take a ritual bath in such a situation.
Ahmad, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, recorded it; he (al-Tabarani) said: It is narrated from Sahl bin Rafi' from his father. Its chain contains Rishdin bin Sa'd, who has a poor memory.
