It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for a man of the Ansar, and he was (somewhat) slow in coming. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What held you back?" He said that when your (peace and blessings be upon him) messenger came to me, I was with my wife (in intimacy), so I got up and performed ghusl. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There was no harm on you had you not performed ghusl, as long as you had no ejaculation." (The narrator said:) Then the Ansar acted upon this (for some time).
