أَخْبَرَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ
الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ
إِسْحَاق بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: دَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ وَعِنْدَهُ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: الْمَرْأَةُ تَرَى فِي مَنَامِهَا مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ ؟، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكِ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ فَضَحْتِ النِّسَاءَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
"مُنْتَصِرًا لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ بَلْ أَنْتِ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكِ، إِنَّ خَيْرَكُنَّ الَّتِي تَسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَعْنِيهَا، إِذَا رَأَتْ الْمَاءَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ"، قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: وَلِلنِّسَاءِ مَاءٌ ؟، قَالَ: "نَعَمْ، فَأَنَّى يُشْبِهُهُنَّ الْوَلَدُ ؟ إِنَّمَا هُنَّ شَقَائِقُ الرِّجَالِ".
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) entered and asked: “If a woman sees in a dream what a man sees (i.e., experiences a wet dream), what should she do?” Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “May your hands be dusted, you have disgraced women!” But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), supporting Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), said: “Rather (O wife), may your hands be dusted! The best of women are those who ask about their needs.” Then he said: “When a woman sees wetness (fluid), she should perform ghusl (ritual bath).” Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “Do women also have fluid?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Yes, then how does the child resemble them? They (i.e., women) are like men (in nature and habits), or women are the counterparts of men.”
