حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ثنا كَهْمَسٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَصَابَهُ الْجَنَابَةُ اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ أَوْ مِنْ آخِرِهِ؟ قَالَتْ «رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ وَرُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ آخِرِهِ» قُلْتُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ سَعَةً وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدَنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ

✧ I said to Aisha: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in a state of janabah, did he bathe at the beginning of it or at the end? She said: Sometimes he would bathe at the beginning, and sometimes at the end. I said: Allah is greatest. Praise be to Allah who has made the matter flexible. May Allah bless our master Muhammad, his family, and all his companions.
