Chapter 4 · Ablutions (Wudu')
Sahih

مَنْ لَمْ يَرَ الْوُضُوءَ إِلاَّ مِنَ الْمَخْرَجَيْنِ، مِنَ الْقُبُلِ وَالدُّبُرِ

One who considers ablution necessary only for what comes out of the two outlets, the front and the back

سَأَلَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا جَامَعَ فَلَمْ يُمْنِ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ يَتَوَضَّأُ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاَةِ، وَيَغْسِلُ ذَكَرَهُ. قَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا، وَالزُّبَيْرَ، وَطَلْحَةَ، وَأُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ فَأَمَرُوهُ بِذَلِكَ.

حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ عَطَاءَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنْ زَيْدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ،

Translation

Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani reported that he asked Uthman ibn Affan – I said, “What do you think if he has intercourse and does not ejaculate?” Uthman said, “He performs ablution (wudu) as he performs ablution for the prayer, and washes his private part.” Uthman said, “I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” Then I asked Ali, az-Zubayr, Talhah and Ubayy ibn Ka'b about that, and they instructed him likewise.

Translator’s note: “They instructed him likewise”: that is, whoever asks about such a case. According to most scholars this ruling was later abrogated, so that the ritual bath (ghusl) is obligatory even without ejaculation.

Deutsch

Zaid ibn Chalid al-Dschuhani berichtete, dass er Uthman ibn Affan fragte – ich sagte: „Was meinst du, wenn er Geschlechtsverkehr hat und keinen Samenerguss hat?“ Uthman sagte: „Er vollzieht die Gebetswaschung, so wie er die Gebetswaschung für das Gebet vollzieht, und wäscht sein Glied.“ Uthman sagte: „Ich habe es vom Gesandten Allahs ﷺ gehört.“ Dann fragte ich Ali, az-Zubair, Talha und Ubai ibn Ka'b danach, und sie wiesen ihn ebenso an.

Translator’s note: „Sie wiesen ihn ebenso an“: gemeint ist, wer nach einem solchen Fall fragt. Nach Ansicht der meisten Gelehrten wurde diese Regelung später aufgehoben; danach ist die Ganzkörperwaschung auch ohne Samenerguss Pflicht.

Türkçe

Zeyd b. Hâlid el-Cühenî (r.a.), Osman b. Affân'a (r.a.) şunu sorduğunu rivayet etti: “Bir kimse cinsel birleşmede bulunur da inzal olmazsa ne dersin?” dedim. Osman, “Namaz için abdest aldığı gibi abdest alır ve tenasül uzvunu yıkar” dedi. Osman, “Bunu Resûlullah'tan ﷺ işittim” dedi. Ben de bunu Ali'ye, Zübeyr'e, Talha'ya ve Übey b. Kâ'b'a (r.a.) sordum; onlar da ona aynı şeyi emrettiler.

Translator’s note: “Onlar da ona aynı şeyi emrettiler”: böyle bir durumu soran kimse kastedilmektedir. Âlimlerin çoğuna göre bu hüküm daha sonra neshedilmiştir; buna göre inzal olmasa da gusül gerekir.
