Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 1, Hadith 371

Hammam b. al-Harith reported, he has a sexual dream when he was staying with ‘Aishah. The slave girl of ‘Aishah saw him while he was washing the mark of defilement, or he was washing his clothe. She informed ‘Aishah who said: He witnessed me rubbing off the semen from the clothe of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Abu Dawud said: Al-A’mash narrated it as narrated by al-Hakam.

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ – رضى الله عنها – فَاحْتَلَمَ فَأَبْصَرَتْهُ جَارِيَةٌ لِعَائِشَةَ وَهُوَ يَغْسِلُ أَثَرَ الْجَنَابَةِ مِنْ ثَوْبِهِ أَوْ يَغْسِلُ ثَوْبَهُ فَأَخْبَرَتْ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَأَنَا أَفْرُكُهُ مِنْ ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ الأَعْمَشُ كَمَا رَوَاهُ الْحَكَمُ ‏.‏

Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 1, Hadith 371

 
This hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. Sunan Abi Dawud constitutes a seminal work within the Kutub al-Sittah (the Six Books), the canonical compendiums of hadith in Sunni Islam. Authored by Abu Dawud Sulayman ibn al-Ash’ath al-Sijistani (817–889 CE), the collection is systematically organized into kitabs (books) that primarily address matters of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). Containing precisely 4,800 hadiths, it is critically acclaimed not only for its content but for the compiler’s scholarly annotations, which frequently assess the authenticity (sihha) and reliability of the included isnads (chains of transmission). Its status is thus one of pronounced authority, though it is not exclusively limited to sahih (authentic) grade hadiths.
