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:

1. Brief biographies of the noble companions: Umm Salamah, Umm Sulaym, and Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with them all)
2. Several other hadeeths that add clarity to the narrations
3. What is recommended for one who is Junub (in a state of Janābah) to do before sleeping and eating
4. The ruling of doing Ghusl after having a sexual dream
