Zaid bin Khalid narrates: He asked Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) about a person who has intercourse but does not ejaculate. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied that such a person is not required to perform ghusl (ritual bath). Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself. The narrator states: Later, I asked Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib, Sayyiduna Zubair bin Al-Awwam, Sayyiduna Talha bin Ubaidullah, and Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with them), and they also gave a similar answer. The narrator named Abu Salamah states: Urwah bin Zubair informed me that he asked Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) about this matter, and he also narrated a similar statement from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
