حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ هَلْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ مِنْ غُسْلٍ إِذَا هِيَ احْتَلَمَتْ فَقَالَ ‏

"‏ نَعَمْ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ ‏"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father from Zaynab bint Abi Salama that Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Umm Salama, the wife of Abu Talha al-Ansari, came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah! Allah is not ashamed of the truth-does a woman have to do ghusl if she has had an erotic dream?' He said, 'Yes, if she sees any liquid.' "

Reported by Malik (No. 117), Al-Bukhari (No. 282, 6121) and Ahmad (No. 25367).

( ش ) : قَوْلُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِ مِنْ الْحَقِّ يَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ تُرِيدَ بِذَلِكَ لَا يَأْمُرُ أَنْ يُسْتَحَيَا مِنْ الْحَقِّ وَيَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ تُرِيدَ بِهِ لَا يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْ ذِكْرِهِ امْتِنَاعُ الْمُسْتَحِي وَإِنَّمَا قَدَّمَتْ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ قَوْلِهَا لِمَا احْتَاجَتْ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ السُّؤَالِ عَنْ أَمْرٍ يَسْتَحْيِ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ ذِكْرِهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا بُدٌّ مِنْهُ لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهَمِّ أَمْرِ دِينِهَا فَقَدَّمَتْ هَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِهَا بِمَعْنَى أَنَّهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَمْرًا يُسْتَحَيَا مِنْهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ وَاجِبٌ يَلْزَمُ النِّسَاءَ السُّؤَالُ عَنْهُ وَالتَّوَصُّلُ إِلَى عِلْمِهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ نِعْمَ الن…
