Chapter 5 · Bathing (Ghusl)غَسْلِ مَا يُصِيبُ مِنْ فَرْجِ الْمَرْأَةِ
Washing what comes into contact with the woman's private parts
سَأَلَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا جَامَعَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَلَمْ يُمْنِ. قَالَ عُثْمَانُ يَتَوَضَّأُ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاَةِ، وَيَغْسِلُ ذَكَرَهُ. قَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَالزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ وَطَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَأُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ فَأَمَرُوهُ بِذَلِكَ. أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ يَحْيَى وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ عَطَاءَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ،
Translation
Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani reported that he asked Uthman ibn Affan, saying, “What do you think if a man has intercourse with his wife 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 ibn Abi Talib, az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, Talhah ibn Ubaydillah and Ubayy ibn Ka'b about that, and they instructed him likewise. … (Abu Ayyub reported) that he had heard that from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
Translator’s note: “They instructed him likewise”: that is, the one asking. The last sentence comes from a second chain via Urwah ibn az-Zubayr from Abu Ayyub. According to most scholars this ruling was later abrogated, so that the ritual bath (ghusl) is obligatory even without ejaculation.

Zaid ibn Chalid al-Dschuhani berichtete, dass er Uthman ibn Affan fragte und sagte: „Was meinst du, wenn der Mann mit seiner Frau 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 ibn Abi Talib, az-Zubair ibn al-Awwam, Talha ibn Ubaidillah und Ubai ibn Ka'b danach, und sie wiesen ihn ebenso an. … (Abu Ayyub berichtete,) dass er dies vom Gesandten Allahs ﷺ gehört hatte.
Translator’s note: „Sie wiesen ihn ebenso an“: gemeint ist der Fragende. Der letzte Satz stammt aus einer zweiten Überlieferung über Urwa ibn az-Zubair von Abu Ayyub. 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 adam hanımıyla cinsel birleşmede bulunur da inzal olmazsa ne dersin?” Osman, “Namaz için abdest aldığı gibi abdest alır ve tenasül uzvunu yıkar” dedi. Osman, “Bunu Resûlullah'tan ﷺ işittim” dedi. Ben de bunu Ali b. Ebû Tâlib'e, Zübeyr b. Avvâm'a, Talha b. Ubeydullah'a ve Übey b. Kâ'b'a (r.a.) sordum; onlar da ona aynı şeyi emrettiler. … (Ebû Eyyûb), bunu Resûlullah'tan ﷺ işittiğini (rivayet etti).
Translator’s note: “Onlar da ona aynı şeyi emrettiler”: soran kimse kastedilmektedir. Son cümle, Urve b. Zübeyr kanalıyla Ebû Eyyûb'dan gelen ikinci bir rivayettendir. Âlimlerin çoğuna göre bu hüküm daha sonra neshedilmiştir; buna göre inzal olmasa da gusül gerekir.
