Sahih al-Bukhari 130 (Book 3, Hadith 72)
necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge?) The
Prophet replied, “Yes, if she notices a discharge.” Um Salama, then covered her face and asked, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Does a woman get a discharge?” He replied, “Yes, let your right hand be in dust (An
Arabic expression you say to a person when you contradict his statement meaning “you will not
achieve goodness”), and that is why the son resembles his mother.”
