ابن ماجہ · Hadith 572
It was narrated that ‘Atâ’ bin Abu Rabâh said: “I heard Ibn ‘Abbâs saying that a man was injured in the head at the time of the Messenger of Allah then he had a wet dream. He was told to have a bath, so he took the bath, became rigid and stiff, and died. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H and he said: ‘They have killed him, may Allah kill them! Is not the cure for a lack of knowledge to ask questions?” ‘Atâ’ said: “We heard that the Messenger of Allah ( said: ‘If oy he had washed his body and left his head alone where the wound was.” (Sahih)
