Musnad Abi Ya'la 3116 — she asked the Prophet ﷺ about a woman who sees
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، أَنَّ أَنَسًا حَدَّثَهُمْ : أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ حَدَّثَتْ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَرَى فِي مَنَامِهَا مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ ؟ قَالَ : إِذَا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : وَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : وَهَلْ يَكُونُ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : نَعَمْ ، فَمِنْ أَيْنَ يَكُونُ الشَّبَهُ ؟ إِنَّ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ غَلِيظٌ ، وَمَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ رَقِيقٌ أَصْفَرُ ، فَمِنْ أَيِّهِمَا عَلَا أَوْ سَبَقَ يَكُونُ الشَّبَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees (that is, she has a wet dream). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a woman sees that, she should take a ritual bath (ghusl)." Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I felt shy about this, so I said: Does this really happen? The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! (If not,) then where does the resemblance (in children) come from? Indeed, the man's fluid is thick and the woman's fluid is thin and yellowish; so whichever of the two prevails or comes first, the resemblance is according to it."
