Fasting After Intimacy

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would take a bath and fast after having sexual relations with his wives.

Narrated 'Aisha and Um Salama: At times Allah's Messenger used to get up in the morning in the state of Janaba after having sexual relations with his wives. He would then take a bath and fast.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي، حِينَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ح‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَ مَرْوَانَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، وَأُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتَاهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يُدْرِكُهُ الْفَجْرُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ وَيَصُومُ‏.‏ وَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ أُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ لَتُقَرِّعَنَّ بِهَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ‏.‏ وَمَرْوَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَكَرِهَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثُمَّ قُدِّرَ لَنَا أَنْ نَجْتَمِعَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ، وَكَانَتْ لأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ هُنَالِكَ أَرْضٌ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكَ أَمْرًا، وَلَوْلاَ مَرْوَانُ أَقْسَمَ عَلَىَّ فِيهِ لَمْ أَذْكُرْهُ لَكَ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ قَوْلَ عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ كَذَلِكَ حَدَّثَنِي الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَهُنَّ أَعْلَمُ، وَقَالَ هَمَّامٌ وَابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَأْمُرُ بِالْفِطْرِ‏.‏ وَالأَوَّلُ أَسْنَدُ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Take a bath and fast after engaging in intimacy

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the practice of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is reported that he would get up in the morning in a state of janaba after having sexual relations with his wives. Janaba is a state of ritual impurity which requires purification before engaging in certain acts such as prayer. In order to purify himself from this state, he would take a bath and then fast for the day. This teaches us that even though we may engage in activities which are permissible according to Islamic law, it is important to remember our obligations as Muslims and strive to remain spiritually pure by performing acts such as fasting or prayer.
