Taking Bath After Wet Dream

SUMMARY: Women should take a bath after having a wet dream if they notice any discharge.

Narrated Zainab bint Um Salama: Um Sulaim said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it essential for a woman to take a bath after she had a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?" He said, "Yes, if she notices discharge. On that Um Salama laughed and said, "Does a woman get a (nocturnal sexual) discharge?" He said, "How then does (her) son resemble her (his mother)?"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ، هَلْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ غُسْلٌ إِذَا احْتَلَمَتْ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَضَحِكَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَتْ أَتَحْتَلِمُ الْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ فَبِمَ شَبَهُ الْوَلَدِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of taking a bath after having a wet dream. A wet dream is when one experiences sexual arousal and discharge during sleep. In this hadith, Um Sulaim asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ if it was necessary for women to take a bath after experiencing such an occurrence. The Prophet ﷺ replied that it was essential for them to do so if they noticed any discharge. He then used an analogy of how children resemble their mothers in order to explain why this was important. This hadith teaches us that we must be mindful of our physical cleanliness and hygiene even when we are asleep, as Allah ï·» has commanded us to stay clean at all times.
