Musnad Ahmad 868 (Book 5, Hadith 297) #34523
Washing Private Parts and Ghusl in Winter

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) advised Ali bin Abi Talib (RA) not to do ghusl in the winter if he sees madhi, but instead wash his private part and do wudoo as for prayer. If water gushes out, then do ghusl.

It was narrated that 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) said: I was a man who emitted a great deal of madhi and I started to do ghusl in the winter, until the skin of my back became cracked. I mentioned that to the Prophet , or it was mentioned to him, and he said: "Do not do that. If you see madhi, then wash your private part and do wudoo’ as for prayer, but if water gushes out, then do ghusl'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ التَّيْمِيُّ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي رُكَيْنٌ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً فَجَعَلْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ فِي الشِّتَاءِ حَتَّى تَشَقَّقَ ظَهْرِي قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ أَوْ ذُكِرَ لَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَذْيَ فَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ وَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا فَضَخْتَ الْمَاءَ فَاغْتَسِلْ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of washing one's private parts and doing wudu when one sees madhi. It was narrated by 'Ali bin Abi Talib that he used to do ghusl in the winter until his skin cracked due to it. The Prophet then advised him not to do that, but instead wash his private part and perform wudu as for prayer if he sees madhi. If water gushes out from him, then he should perform a full body bath or ghusl. This hadith teaches us that we should take care of our bodies during cold weathers and not overdo any act of worship which may harm us physically or mentally. We should also be mindful of our hygiene by washing our private parts whenever necessary even during cold weathers so we can stay healthy and clean at all times.
