dream what a man experiences (i. e. experiences orgasm)? Upon this 'A'isha remarked: O Umm
Sulaim, you brought humiliation to women;may your right hand be covered with dust. He (the

take a bath. Umm Sulaim said: I was bashful on account of that and said: Does it happen?
Upon this the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Yes (it does happen),
otherwise how can (a child) resemble her? Man's discharge (i. e. sperm) is thick and white
and the discharge of woman is thin and yellow; so the resemblance comes from the one whose
genes prevail or dominate.

him) said: Yes, when she sees the liquid (vaginal secretion). Umm Salama said: Messenger
of Allah, does a woman have sexual dream? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Let your hand be
covered with dust, in what way does her child resemble her?

mother of Bani Abu Talha, came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), and a

her: May your hand be covered with dust and injured. She narrated: The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said: Leave her alone. In what way does the child resemble her but
for the fact that when the genes contributed by woman prevail upon those of man, the child
resembles the maternal family, and when the genes of man prevail upon those of woman the
child resembles the paternal family.

he was going to fall. Upon this he said: Why do you push me? I said: Why don't you say: O
Messenger of Allah? The Jew said: We call him by the name by which he was named by his
family. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: My name is Muhammad with
which I was named by my family. The Jew said: I have come to ask you (something). The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Should that thing be of any benefit to
you, if I tell you that? He (the Jew) said: I will lend my ears to it. The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) drew a line with the help of the stick that he had with him
and then said: Ask (whatever you like). Thereupon the Jew said: Where would the human
beings be on the Daywhen the earth would change into another earth and the heavens too
(would change into other heavens)? The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:
They would be in darkness beside the Bridge. He (the Jew) again said: Who amongst people
would be the first to cross (this bridge).? He said: They would be the poor amongst the
refugees. The Jew said: What would constitute their breakfast when they would enter
Paradise? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: A caul of the fish-liver. He (the Jew) said. What
would be their food alter this? He (the Holy Prophet) said: A bullockwhich was fed in the
different quarters of Paradise would be slaughtered for them. He (the Jew) said: What

fountain which is named" Salsabil". He (the Jew) said: I have come to ask you
about a thing which no one amongst the people on the earth knows except an apostle or one
or two men besides him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Would it benefit you if I tell you
that? He (the Jew) said: I would lend ears to that. He then said: I have come to ask you
about the child. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The reproductive substance of man is white
and that of woman (i. e. ovum central portion) yellow, and when they have sexual
intercourse and the male's substance (chromosomes and genes) prevails upon the female's
substance (chromosomes and genes), it is the male child that is created by Allah's Decree,
and when the substance of the female prevails upon the substance contributed by the male,
a female child is formed by the Decree of Allah. The Jew said: What you have said is true;
verily you are an Apostle. He then returned and went away. The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: He asked me about such and such things of which I have had no
knowledge till Allah gave me that.

Book 003, Number 0716:
Shaqiq reported: I was sitting in the company of Abdullah and Abu Musa when Abu Musa
said: 0 'Abd al-Rahman (kunya of 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud), what would you like a man to do
about the prayer if he experiences a seminal emission or has sexual intercourse but does
not find water for a month? 'Abdullah said: He should not perform tayammum even if he does
not find water for a month. 'Abdullah said: Then what about the verse in Sura
Ma'ida:" If you do not find water, betake yourself to clean dust"? 'Abdullah
said: If they were granted concession on the basis of this verse, there is a possibility
that they would perform tayammum with dust on finding water very cold for themselves. Abu
Musa said to Abdullah: You have not heard the words of 'Ammar: The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) sent me on an errand and I had a seminal emission, but could find no
water, and rolled myself in dust just as a beast rolls itself. I came to the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) then and made a mention of that to him and he (the Holy
Prophet) said: It would have been enough for you to do thus. Then he struck the ground
with his hands once and wiped his right hand with the help of his left hand and the
exterior of his palms and his face. 'Abdullah said: Didn't you see that Umar was not fully
satisfied with the words of 'Ammar only?

Abd al-Rabmin b. Abza narrated It on the authority of his father that a man came to

when I and you were in a military detachment and we had had a seminal emission and did not
find water (for taking bath) and you did not say prayer, but as for myself I rolled in
dust and said prayer, and (when it was mentioned before) the Apostle (may peace be upon
him) said: It was enough for you to strike the ground with your hands and then blow (the
dust) and then wipe your face and palms. Umar said: 'Ammar, fear Allah. He said: If you so
like, I would not narrate it.

words: 'Umar said: We hold you responsible for what you claim."
