حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ الْبَزَّازُ الرَّازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرٌ الْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبِي غَسَّانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ کَعْبٍ أَنَّ الْفُتْيَا الَّتِي کَانُوا يَفْتُونَ أَنَّ الْمَائَ مِنْ الْمَائِ کَانَتْ رُخْصَةً رَخَّصَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي بَدْئِ الْإِسْلَامِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالِاغْتِسَالِ بَعْدُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 215
Ubayy bin Kaab said: The verdict that water (bath) is necessary when there is emission given by the people (in the early days of Islam) was due to the concession granted by the Messenger of Allah in the beginning of Islam. He then commanded to take a bath (in such a case). Abu Dawud said: By Abu Ghassan is meant Muhammad bin mutarrif.
