Lesson 22: Book of Purification from Umdatul-Ahkam – Uways at-Taweel
Explanation of Hadeeths #4 & #5 of the Chapter of Ghusl (Ritual Bath) from Janābah:
Explanation of Two Hadeeths:
Hadeeth #4:
Abdullāh ibn Umar narrated that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allāh be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: “Can any one of us go to sleep while he is Junub?” He ﷺ responded: “Yes, if he performs wudu’ (ablution), then he can sleep while he is Junub.”
Hadeeth #5:
Umm Salamah (may Allāh be pleased with her) – the wife of the Prophet ﷺ – narrated that: Umm Sulaym, the wife of Abu Talhah (may Allāh be pleased with them both), came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah, Allah is not ashamed of the truth. Is it obligatory upon a woman to make Ghusl when she has a sexual dream?” So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ responded: “Yes, if she sees signs of liquid.”
Some points covered:
- Brief biographies of the noble companions: Umm Salamah, Umm Sulaym, and Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with them all)
- Several other hadeeths that add clarity to the narrations
- What is recommended for one who is Junub (in a state of Janābah) to do before sleeping and eating
- The ruling of doing Ghusl after having a sexual dream
The class was held on Saturday, 6th of Sha’ban, 1442 (March 20th, 2021).
