(Book 2, Hadith 82) #35167
The Importance of Ghusl After Wet Dreams

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab realized he had a wet dream and did not know it, so he did ghusl and prayed in the midmorning.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that Zuyayd ibn as-Salt said, "I went with Umar ibn al-Khattab to Juruf and he looked down and noticed that he had had a wet dream and had prayed without doing ghusl. He exclaimed, 'By Allah I realise that I have had a wet dream and did not know it and have not done ghusl'. So he did ghusl and washed off whatever he saw on his garment, and sprinkled with water whatever he did not see.Then he gave the adhan or the iqama and prayed in the midmorning".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ زُيَيْدِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى الْجُرُفِ فَنَظَرَ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدِ احْتَلَمَ وَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَانِي إِلاَّ احْتَلَمْتُ وَمَا شَعَرْتُ وَصَلَّيْتُ وَمَا اغْتَسَلْتُ قَالَ فَاغْتَسَلَ وَغَسَلَ مَا رَأَى فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَنَضَحَ مَا لَمْ يَرَ وَأَذَّنَ أَوْ أَقَامَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ الضُّحَى مُتَمَكِّنًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of performing ghusl after having a wet dream. Umar ibn al-Khattab was on his way to Juruf when he realized that he had a wet dream but hadn't done ghusl yet. He immediately performed ablution and washed off whatever was on his garment, then sprinkled with water whatever wasn't visible before giving the adhan or iqama and praying in the midmorning. This hadith teaches us that we should always be mindful of our religious obligations even if we don't realize them right away, as well as how important it is to perform ghusl after having a wet dream in order to remain clean and pure for prayer.
