Jami at-Tirmidhi 116 (Book 1, Hadith 116) #25681
Wet Dreams and Respect for Others' Property

SUMMARY: Aishah was lending a guest a yellow wrap to sleep in, and when he had a wet dream, he washed it instead of scraping off the traces with his fingers. Aishah then commented that she would scrape off the traces of wet dreams from Allah's Messenger's garment with her fingers.

Hammam bin AI-Harith narrated: "Aishah had a guest to whom she lent a yellow wrap for him to sleep in. He had a wet dream, and was too embarrassed to send it to her while the traces of the wet dream were present on it. So he submerged it (washing it) in water, then he sent it to her. Aishah said, "Why did he ruin our garment? It would have been sufficient for him to scrape it off with his fingers. Sometimes I would scrape it off of the garment of Allah's Messenger with my fingers".
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ ضَافَ عَائِشَةَ ضَيْفٌ فَأَمَرَتْ لَهُ بِمِلْحَفَةٍ صَفْرَاءَ فَنَامَ فِيهَا فَاحْتَلَمَ فَاسْتَحْيَا أَنْ يُرْسِلَ بِهَا وَبِهَا أَثَرُ الاِحْتِلاَمِ فَغَمَسَهَا فِي الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ بِهَا فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لِمَ أَفْسَدَ عَلَيْنَا ثَوْبَنَا إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيهِ أَنْ يَفْرُكَهُ بِأَصَابِعِهِ وَرُبَّمَا فَرَكْتُهُ مِنْ ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَصَابِعِي ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ مِنَ الْفُقَهَاءِ مِثْلِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ قَالُوا فِي الْمَنِيِّ يُصِيبُ الثَّوْبَ يُجْزِئُهُ الْفَرْكُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُغْسَلْ ‏.‏ وَهَكَذَا رُوِيَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مِثْلَ رِوَايَةِ الأَعْمَشِ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَحَدِيثُ الأَعْمَشِ أَصَحُّ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect other people’s property even if you are embarrassed or ashamed about something happening on them; take care of them without damaging them further .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about respecting other people’s property. It is narrated by Hammam bin AI-Harith that Aishah had lent a yellow wrap to her guest for him to sleep in. When he had a wet dream, instead of scraping off the traces with his fingers, he submerged it in water and sent it back to her. Aishah then commented that she would scrape off the traces of wet dreams from Allah's Messenger's garment with her fingers if such an incident occurred on his garment. This shows us how we should respect other people’s property even if we are embarrassed or ashamed about something happening on it; we should not ruin their belongings but rather take care of them as best as possible without damaging them further. We can also learn from this hadith that even though Prophet Muhammad was one of the most important figures in Islam, he still respected others’ belongings and did not damage them unnecessarily either; this teaches us how important it is to be respectful towards others’ possessions no matter who they belong to or what their value may be.
