Sahih al-Bukhari 230 (Book 4, Hadith 96) #230
Praying with Semen-Stained Clothes

SUMMARY: It is permissible to pray while wearing clothes that have been washed from semen stains.

Narrated Sulaiman bin Yasar: I asked 'Aisha about the clothes soiled with semen. She replied, "I used to wash it off the clothes of Allah's Messenger and he would go for the prayer while water spots were still visible".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ الْمَنِيِّ، يُصِيبُ الثَّوْبَ فَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَغْسِلُهُ مِنْ ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ، فَيَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَأَثَرُ الْغَسْلِ فِي ثَوْبِهِ بُقَعُ الْمَاءِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is narrated by Sulaiman bin Yasar and it speaks about the permissibility of praying while wearing clothes that have been washed from semen stains. According to the hadith, Aisha reported that she used to wash off the semen stains on Prophet Muhammad's clothes and he would go for prayer even when water spots were still visible. This shows us that it is permissible to pray in such a state as long as one has made an effort to cleanse oneself and their clothing. The lesson here is that we should strive for purity in our lives but also understand that sometimes things are out of our control and we should not be too hard on ourselves if we cannot achieve perfection all the time. We should also remember Allah's mercy and forgiveness which will always be available if we sincerely repent for any mistakes or shortcomings.
