Sahih al-Bukhari 270 (Book 5, Hadith 23) #270
Taking a Bath After Intercourse

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and his practice of taking a bath after having sexual intercourse with all his wives.

Narrated Muhammad bin Al-Muntathir: on the authority of his father that he had asked 'Aisha about the saying of Ibn 'Umar (ie he did not like to be a Muhrim while the smell of scent was still coming from his body)'.Aisha said, "I scented Allah's Messenger and he went round (had sexual intercourse with) all his wives, and in the morning he was Muhrim (after taking a bath)".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهَا قَوْلَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصْبِحَ، مُحْرِمًا أَنْضَخُ طِيبًا‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَنَا طَيَّبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ طَافَ فِي نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ مُحْرِمًا‏.‏
