Musnad Abi Ya'la 3164 — Sayyidah Umm Sulaym asked the Prophet of Allah
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، وَعَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ سَأَلَتْ نَبِيَّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَرَى فِي مَنَامِهَا مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ ؟ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِذَا كَانَ ذَاكَ فِي مَنَامِهَا فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : وَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : نَعَمْ ، فَمِنْ أَيْنَ يَكُونُ الشَّبَهُ ؟ إِنَّ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ غَلِيظٌ أَبْيَضُ ، وَإِنَّ مَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ أَصْفَرُ رَقِيقٌ فَأَيُّهُمَا عَلَا أَوْ سَبَقَ كَانَ مِنْهُ الشَّبَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees (that is, a wet dream). The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When she sees such a thing in her dream, she should take a ritual bath (ghusl)." Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I felt shy about this, so I said: "Does that really happen (to women as well)?" The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes; (if it did not,) then where would resemblance come from? Indeed, the fluid of the man is thick and white, while the fluid of the woman is yellow and thin; so whichever of the two prevails or comes first, the resemblance is according to it."
