عَائِشَةَ ، فَأُذِنَ لِي ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : يَا أُمَّاهْ ، أَوْ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكِ عَنْ شَيْءٍ ، وَإِنِّي أَسْتَحْيِيكِ ، فَقَالَتْ : لَا تَسْتَحْيِي ، أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي عَمَّا كُنْتَ سَائِلًا عَنْهُ أُمَّكَ الَّتِي وَلَدَتْكَ ، أَنَا أُمُّكَ ، قُلْتُ : فَمَا يُوجِبُ الْغُسْلَ ؟ قَالَتْ : عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا جَلَسَ بَيْنَ شُعَبِهَا الأَرْبَعِ ، وَمَسَّ الْخِتَانُ الْخِتَانَ ، فَقَدْ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ " .
With two different chains of narration, it is reported from Abu Burdah, from (his father) Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), that in this matter a group of the Muhajirun and Ansar differed. The Ansar said: Ghusl (ritual bath) becomes obligatory only when (semen) is ejaculated forcefully or water (i.e., ejaculation) occurs. The Muhajirun said: Rather, ghusl becomes obligatory when there is intercourse. (Abu Burdah) said: Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will resolve this issue for you. I got up and sought permission to visit Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). When I was granted permission, I said: My mother, or he said: O Mother of the Believers! I want to ask you about something, and I also feel shy before you. She said: Do not be shy to ask me about anything you could have asked your own mother who gave birth to you, for I am also your mother. I said: So what act makes ghusl obligatory? She said: You have come to the one who is best informed about this matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When he (the man) sits between her (the woman’s) four limbs and the circumcised parts touch each other, then ghusl becomes obligatory."

1:
Even if ejaculation does not occur, ritual bath (ghusl) still becomes obligatory.
Previously, the ruling was that ritual bath (ghusl) would only become obligatory when ejaculation occurred,
which was later abrogated by this hadith.
See the next hadith.

Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Commentary:
By "the meeting of the circumcised parts" is meant the contact of the sexual organs, that is, the act of intercourse.
The meaning is that when the act of sexual intercourse is initiated, ritual bath (ghusl) becomes obligatory even if ejaculation does not occur.
