Narrator:Umm Salamah

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ بِنْتُ مِلْحَانَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ فَهَلْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ تَعْنِي غُسْلاً إِذَا هِيَ رَأَتْ فِي الْمَنَامِ مِثْلَ مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ قَالَ ‏

"‏ نَعَمْ إِذَا هِيَ رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ ‏"

Umm Salamah narrated:

Umm Sulaim bint Milhan came to the Prophet and she said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Indeed Allah is not embarrassed of the truth. So is it required of a woman - meaning Ghusl - when she sees in her sleep similar to what a man sees?' He replied: 'Yes. When she finds water (wetness), then she is perform Ghusl.'" Umm Salamah said: "I said to her: 'O Umm SuIaim! You have disgraced the women!'"

قَوْلُهُ : ( جَاءَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ اِبْنَةُ مِلْحَانَ ) بِكَسْرِ الْمِيمِ وَسُكُونِ اللَّامِ وَالْحَاءِ الْمُهْمَلَةِ هِيَ أُمُّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَفِي اِسْمِهَا خِلَافٌ , تَزَوَّجَهَا مَالِكُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ أَبُو أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ أَنَسًا ثُمَّ قُتِلَ عَنْهَا مُشْرِكًا فَأَسْلَمَتْ فَخَطَبَهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَهُوَ مُشْرِكٌ فَأَبَتْ وَدَعَتْهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمَ وَقَالَتْ إنِّي أَتَزَوَّجُك وَلَا آخُذُ مِنْك صَدَاقًا لِإِسْلَامِك فَتَزَوَّجَهَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ. رَوَى عَنْهَا خَلْقٌ كَثِيرٌ ( إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ الْحَقِّ ) قَدَّمَتْ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ تَمْهِيدًا لِعُذْرِهَا فِي ذِكْرِ مَا يُسْتَحَى مِنْهُ وَالْمُرَادُ بِالْحَيَاءِ هُنَا مَعْنَاهُ ا…
