Sunan Abi Dawud 214

Translation

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) made a concession in the early days of Islam on account of the paucity of clothes that one should not take a bath if one has sexual intercourse (and has no seminal emission). But later on her commanded to take a bath in such a case and prohibited its omission.

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

• Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

  صححه ابن خزيمة وابن حبان وقال الإسماعيلي هو صحيح على شرط البخاري كذا قال وكأنه لم يطلع على علته فقد اختلفوا في كون الزهري سمعه من سهل نعم أخرجه أبو داود وابن خزيمة أيضا من طريق أبي حازم عن سهل ولهذا الإسناد أيضا علة أخرى ذكرها ابن أبي حاتم وفي الجملة هو إسناد صالح لأن يحتج به

  machine translationIbn Khuzaymah and Ibn Ḥibbān graded it sound (ṣaḥīḥ). Al-Ismāʿīlī said: It is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) according to the criterion of al-Bukhārī. So he said, but it seems he was not aware of its defect (ʿillah), for they differed over whether al-Zuhrī heard it from Sahl. Yes, Abū Dāwūd and also Ibn Khuzaymah reported it through Abū Ḥāzim from Sahl. This chain also has another defect, which Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned. In sum, it is a chain fit to be used as evidence.
