باب في الذي يَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ في غُسْلٍ وَاحِدٍ:Chapter: One Who Visits His Wives and Bathes Once
Hadith 777
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "طَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ أَجْمَعَ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) visited all his wives in one night.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 775 to 777)
In the first narration, the mention is of the day, and in the second narration, the mention is of the night, and what is meant by this is sexual intercourse (jima‘).
Therefore, it is understood that even if there are four wives, after having intercourse with them, one ritual bath (ghusl) is sufficient. It should be noted that at that time the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had eleven wives, as is mentioned in the narration of Sahih al-Bukhari; see: [بخاري 284]. However, before having intercourse a second time or with another wife, it is preferable to clean oneself and perform ablution (wudu), because this restores vigor and alertness.
