Whenever any one of us was Junub, she poured water over her head thrice with both her hands and
then rubbed the right side of her head with one hand and rubbed the left side of the head with the other
hand.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each
other. The Prophet (ﷺ) Moses used to take a bath alone. They said, 'By Allah! Nothing prevents Moses
from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.' So once Moses went out to take a bath
and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that
stone saying, "My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! till the people of Bani Israel saw him and
said, 'By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes and began to beat the
stone." Abu Huraira added, "By Allah! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from
that excessive beating."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " بَيْنَا أَيُّوبُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِ جَرَادٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَجَعَلَ أَيُّوبُ يَحْتَثِي فِي ثَوْبِهِ، فَنَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ يَا أَيُّوبُ، أَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَغْنَيْتُكَ عَمَّا تَرَى قَالَ بَلَى وَعِزَّتِكَ وَلَكِنْ لاَ غِنَى بِي عَنْ بَرَكَتِكَ ". وَرَوَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " بَيْنَا أَيُّوبُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When the Prophet (ﷺ) Job (Aiyub) was taking a bath naked,
golden locusts began to fall on him. Job started collecting them in his clothes. His Lord addressed
him, 'O Job! Haven't I given you enough so that you are not in need of them.' Job replied, 'Yes!' By
Your Honor (power)! But I cannot dispense with Your Blessings.' "
I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the year of the conquest of Mecca and found him taking a bath while
Fatima was screening him. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who is it?" I replied, "I am Um-Hani."
I screened the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was taking a bath of Janaba. He washed his hands, poured water from
his right hand over his left and washed his private parts. Then he rubbed his hand over a wall or the
earth, and performed ablution similar to that for the prayer but did not wash his feet. Then he poured
water over his body, shifted from that place, and washed his feet.

" نَعَمْ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ ".
(the mother of the believers) Um Sulaim, the wife of Abu Talha, came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to take a
bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, if she
notices a discharge."
The Prophet (ﷺ) came across me in one of the streets of Medina and at that time I was Junub. So I slipped
away from him and went to take a bath. On my return the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Huraira! Where have
you been?" I replied, "I was Junub, so I disliked to sit in your company." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Subhan
Allah! A believer never becomes impure."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came across me and I was Junub. He took my hand and I went along with him till he
sat down I slipped away, went home and took a bath. When I came back, he was still sitting there. He
then said to me, "O Abu Huraira! Where have you been?' I told him about it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Subhan Allah! O Abu Huraira! A believer never becomes impure."

intercourse with her, bath becomes compulsory."
I asked `Uthman bin `Affan about a man who engaged in the sexual intercourse with his wife but did
not discharge. `Uthman replied, "He should perform ablution like that for the prayer after washing his
private parts." `Uthman added, "I heard that from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." I asked `Ali bin Abi Talib, Az-
Zubair bin Al-`Awwam, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah and Ubai bin Ka`b and they gave the same reply. (Abu
Aiyub said that he had heard that from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ) (This order was canceled later on so one has
to take a bath. See, Hadith No. 180).
I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about a man who engages in sexual intercourse with his wife but does not
discharge. He replied, "He should wash the parts which comes in contact with the private parts of the
woman, perform ablution and then pray." (Abu `Abdullah said, "Taking a bath is safer and is the last
order.")

exception of the Tawaf (Circumambulation) round the Ka`ba." `Aisha added, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives."

Narrated `Urwa:
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامٌ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَتَخْدُمُنِي الْحَائِضُ أَوْ تَدْنُو مِنِّي الْمَرْأَةُ وَهْىَ جُنُبٌ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ، وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ تَخْدُمُنِي، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فِي ذَلِكَ بَأْسٌ، أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُرَجِّلُ ـ تَعْنِي ـ رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَئِذٍ مُجَاوِرٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، يُدْنِي لَهَا رَأْسَهُ وَهْىَ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا، فَتُرَجِّلُهُ وَهْىَ حَائِضٌ.
A person asked me, "Can a woman in menses serve me? And can a Junub woman come close to me?"
I replied, "All this is easy for me. All of them can serve me, and there is no harm for any other person
to do the same. `Aisha told me that she used to comb the hair of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while she was in her
menses, and he was in I`tikaf (in the mosque). He would bring his head near her in her room and she
would comb his hair, while she used to be in her menses."
While I was laying with the Prophet (ﷺ) under a single woolen sheet, I got the menses. I slipped away and
put on the clothes for menses. He said, "Have you got "Nifas" (menses)?" I replied, "Yes." He then
called me and made me lie with him under the same sheet.
The Prophet (ﷺ) and I used to take a bath from a single pot while we were Junub. During the menses, he
used to order me to put on an Izar (dress worn below the waist) and used to fondle me. While in
I`tikaf, he used to bring his head near me and I would wash it while I used to be in my periods
(menses).
