experiences in dream what a man experiences (i. e. experiences
orgasm)? Upon this 'A'isha remarked: O Umm Sulaim, you brought
humiliation to women;may your right hand be covered with dust.

woman sees that, she must take a bath. Umm Sulaim said: I was
bashful on account of that and said: Does it happen? Upon this
the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Yes (it
does happen), otherwise how can (a child) resemble her? Man's
discharge (i. e. sperm) is thick and white and the discharge
of woman is thin and yellow; so the resemblance comes from the
one whose genes prevail or dominate.
Bk 3, Number 0609:
Anas b. Malik reported: A woman asked the Messenger of Allah
(way peace be upon him) about a woman who sees in her dream
what a man sees in his dream (sexual dream). He (the Holy

(may peace be upon him) said: Yes, when she sees the liquid
(vaginal secretion). Umm Salama said: Messenger of Allah, does
a woman have sexual dream? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Let
your hand be covered with dust, in what way does her child
resemble her?

to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and

said: Yes. 'A'isha said to her: May your hand be covered with
dust and injured. She narrated: The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: Leave her alone. In what way does the
child resemble her but for the fact that when the genes
contributed by woman prevail upon those of man, the child
resembles the maternal family, and when the genes of man
prevail upon those of woman the child resembles the paternal
family.

of Allah (may peace be upon him) one of the rabbis of the Jews

backwith a push that he was going to fall. Upon this he said:
Why do you push me? I said: Why don't you say: O Messenger of
Allah? The Jew said: We call him by the name by which he was
named by his family. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) said: My name is Muhammad with which I was named by my
family. The Jew said: I have come to ask you (something). The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Should that
thing be of any benefit to you, if I tell you that? He (the
Jew) said: I will lend my ears to it. The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) drew a line with the help of the stick
that he had with him and then said: Ask (whatever you like).
Thereupon the Jew said: Where would the human beings be on the
Daywhen the earth would change into another earth and the
heavens too (would change into other heavens)? The Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: They would be in
darkness beside the Bridge. He (the Jew) again said: Who
amongst people would be the first to cross (this bridge).? He
said: They would be the poor amongst the refugees. The Jew
said: What would constitute their breakfast when they would
enter Paradise? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: A caul of the
fish−liver. He (the Jew) said. What would be their food alter
this? He (the Holy Prophet) said: A bullockwhich was fed in
the different quarters of Paradise would be slaughtered for
them. He (the Jew) said: What would be their drink? He (the
Holy Prophet) said: They would be given drink from the
fountain which is named" Salsabil". He (the Jew) said: I have
come to ask you about a thing which no one amongst the people
on the earth knows except an apostle or one or two men besides
him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Would it benefit you if I
tell you that? He (the Jew) said: I would lend ears to that.
He then said: I have come to ask you about the child. He (the
Holy Prophet) said: The reproductive substance of man is white
and that of woman (i. e. ovum central portion) yellow, and
when they have sexual intercourse and the male's substance
(chromosomes and genes) prevails upon the female's substance
(chromosomes and genes), it is the male child that is created
by Allah's Decree, and when the substance of the female
prevails upon the substance contributed by the male, a female
child is formed by the Decree of Allah. The Jew said: What you
have said is true; verily you are an Apostle. He then returned
and went away. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said: He asked me about such and such things of which I have
had no knowledge till Allah gave me that.

should cleanse herself. 'A'isha said in a subdued tone that
she should apply it to the trace of blood. She (Asma) then
further asked about bathing after sexual intercourse. He (the

well or complete the ablution and then (pour water) on her
head and rub it till it reaches the roots of the hair (of her)

And there was nothing to prevent me from stirring but for the
fact that the messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was
lying upon my thigh. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) slept till it was dawn at a waterless place. So Allah
revealed the verses pertaining to tayammum and they (the Holy
Prophet and his Companions) performed tayammum. Usaid b.
al−Hudair who was one of the leaders said: This is not the
first of your blessings,0 Family to Abu Bakr. 'A'isha said: We
made the came) stand which was my mount and found the necklace
under it.

'A'isha reported she had borrowed from Asma' (her sister) a
necklace and it was lost. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) sent men to search for it. As it was the time for
prayer, they offered prayer without ablution (as water was not
available there). When they came to the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him), they made a complaint about it, and
the verses pertaining to tayammum were revealed. Upon this
Usaid b. Hadair said (to 'A'isha): May Allah grant you a good
reward! Never has been there an occasion when you were beset
with difficulty and Allah did not make you come out of that
and made it an occasion of blessing for the Muslims.
Bk 3, Number 0716:
Shaqiq reported: I was sitting in the company of Abdullah and
Abu Musa when Abu Musa said: 0 'Abd al−Rahman (kunya of
'Abdullah b. Mas'ud), what would you like a man to do about
the prayer if he experiences a seminal emission or has sexual
intercourse but does not find water for a month? 'Abdullah
said: He should not perform tayammum even if he does not find
water for a month. 'Abdullah said: Then what about the verse
in Sura Ma'ida:" If you do not find water, betake yourself to
clean dust"? 'Abdullah said: If they were granted concession
on the basis of this verse, there is a possibility that they
would perform tayammum with dust on finding water very cold
for themselves. Abu Musa said to Abdullah: You have not heard
the words of 'Ammar: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) sent me on an errand and I had a seminal emission, but
could find no water, and rolled myself in dust just as a beast
rolls itself. I came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) then and made a mention of that to him and he (the
Holy Prophet) said: It would have been enough for you to do
thus. Then he struck the ground with his hands once and wiped
his right hand with the help of his left hand and the exterior
of his palms and his face. 'Abdullah said: Didn't you see that
Umar was not fully satisfied with the words of 'Ammar only?

remember,0 Commander of the Faithful, when I and you were in a
military detachment and we had had a seminal emission and did
not find water (for taking bath) and you did not say prayer,
but as for myself I rolled in dust and said prayer, and (when
it was mentioned before) the Apostle (may peace be upon him)
said: It was enough for you to strike the ground with your
hands and then blow (the dust) and then wipe your face and
palms. Umar said: 'Ammar, fear Allah. He said: If you so like,
I would not narrate it. A hadith like this has been
transmitted with the same chain of transmitters but for the
words: 'Umar said: We hold you responsible for what you
claim."

for him and when he came, he said to him: 0 Abu Huraira, where
were you? He said: Messenger of Allah, you met when I was
