Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمَّا يُوجِبُ الْغُسْلَ وَعَنْ الْمَاءِ يَكُونُ بَعْدَ الْمَاءِ وَعَنْ الصَّلَاةِ فِي بَيْتِي وَعَنْ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَعَنْ مُؤَاكَلَةِ الْحَائِضِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ الْحَقِّ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَكَرَ الْغُسْلَ قَالَ أَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوئِي لِلصَّلَاةِ أَغْسِلُ فَرْجِي ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْغُسْلَ وَأَمَّا الْمَاءُ يَكُونُ بَعْدَ الْمَاءِ فَذَلِكَ الْمَذْيُ وَكُلُّ فَحْلٍ يُمْذِي فَأَغْسِلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَرْجِي وَأَتَوَضَّأُ وَأَمَّا الصَّلَاةُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَالصَّلَاةُ فِي بَيْتِي فَقَدْ تَرَى مَا أَقْرَبَ بَيْتِي مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ وَلَأَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً وَأَمَّا مُؤَاكَلَةُ الْحَائِضِ فَآكِلْهَا.
English Translation
Abdul Rahman bin Mahdi told us, from Mu'awiyah - meaning Ibn Salih - from al-Ala' - meaning Ibn al-Harith - from Haram bin Hakim, from his uncle Abdullah bin Sa'd, that he asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about what necessitates a full ritual bath, and about the fluid that comes after another fluid, and about praying in his house, and about praying in the mosque, and about eating with a menstruating woman. He said: "Indeed Allah does not shy away from the truth. As for me, when I do such-and-such" - and he mentioned the full ritual bath, saying: "I perform ablution as I would for prayer, I wash my private part" - then he mentioned the full ritual bath again. "As for the fluid that comes after the other fluid, that is madhy, and every male emits madhy, so I wash my private part from that and perform ablution. As for praying in the mosque and praying in my house, you see how close my house is to the mosque, and for me to pray in my house is dearer to me than to pray in the mosque, unless it is an obligatory prayer. As for eating with a menstruating woman, I do eat with her."
