Washing off pre-seminal fluid (madhy) and performing ablution because of it

كُنْتُ رَجُلاً مَذَّاءً فَأَمَرْتُ رَجُلاً أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِمَكَانِ ابْنَتِهِ فَسَأَلَ فَقَالَ " تَوَضَّأْ وَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ ".

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ

Translation

Ali ibn Abi Talib reported: I was a man who frequently had pre-seminal fluid (madhy). So I told a man to ask the Prophet ﷺ, because of (the position of) his daughter. He asked, and he said, “Perform ablution (wudu) and wash your private part.”

Translator’s note: Ali was married to Fatimah, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ, and therefore felt shy to ask himself.

Ali ibn Abi Talib berichtete: Ich war ein Mann, bei dem häufig Vorflüssigkeit (Madhy) austrat. Da beauftragte ich einen Mann, den Propheten ﷺ zu fragen, wegen (der Stellung) seiner Tochter. Er fragte, und er sagte: „Vollziehe die Gebetswaschung und wasche dein Glied.“

Translator’s note: Ali war mit Fatima, der Tochter des Propheten ﷺ, verheiratet und scheute sich deshalb, selbst zu fragen.

Türkçe

Ali b. Ebû Tâlib (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Ben mezisi çok gelen bir adamdım. Kızının (benim yanımdaki) konumu sebebiyle bir adama Nebî'ye ﷺ sormasını söyledim. O da sordu. Bunun üzerine: “Abdest al ve tenasül uzvunu yıka” buyurdu.

Translator’s note: Ali, Nebî'nin ﷺ kızı Fâtıma ile evli olduğu için bunu bizzat sormaktan çekinmişti.
