Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 1, Hadith 115
Sahl bin Hunaif said: “I suffered from a severe and troubling case of Al-Madhi. I was performing Ghusl often because of it. So I mentioned that to Allah’s Messenger and asked him about it. He said: “You only need to perform Wudu for that.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah! How about when it gets on my clothes?” He said: “It is sufficient for you to take a handful of water and sprinkle it n your garment wherever you see that it has touched it.”
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، هُوَ ابْنُ السَّبَّاقِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَلْقَى مِنَ الْمَذْىِ شِدَّةً وَعَنَاءً فَكُنْتُ أُكْثِرُ مِنْهُ الْغُسْلَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ ” إِنَّمَا يُجْزِئُكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوُضُوءُ ” . فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ بِمَا يُصِيبُ ثَوْبِي مِنْهُ قَالَ ” يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ كَفًّا مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَنْضَحَ بِهِ ثَوْبَكَ حَيْثُ تَرَى أَنَّهُ أَصَابَ مِنْهُ ” . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ فِي الْمَذْىِ مِثْلَ هَذَا . وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي الْمَذْىِ يُصِيبُ الثَّوْبَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لاَ يُجْزِئُ إِلاَّ الْغَسْلُ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُجْزِئُهُ النَّضْحُ . وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يُجْزِئَهُ النَّضْحُ بِالْمَاءِ .

It shares its canonical status with five other monumental works: Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan an-Nasa’i, and Sunan ibn Majah. The collection is notably large, consisting of more than 4,000 separate hadith narrations that are presented within a logical framework of 46 distinct books for scholarly reference.
