حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الْحَذَّائُ عَنْ الرَّکِينِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ کُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّائً فَجَعَلْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ حَتَّی تَشَقَّقَ ظَهْرِي فَذَکَرْتُ ذَلِکَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ ذُکِرَ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَفْعَلْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَذْيَ فَاغْسِلْ ذَکَرَکَ وَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوئَکَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا فَضَخْتَ الْمَائَ فَاغْتَسِلْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 206
Ali said: My prostatic fluid flowed excessively. I used to take a bath until my back cracked (because of frequent washing). I mentioned it to the prophet ﷺ, or the fact was mentioned to him (by someone else). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said; Do not do so. When you find prostatic fluid, wash your penis and perform ablution as you do for your prayer, but when you have seminal emission, you should take a bath.
