Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ الْحَقِّ هَلْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ مِنْ غُسْلٍ إِذَا احْتَلَمَتْ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا رَأَتْ الْمَاءَ فَضَحِكَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ أَتَحْتَلِمُ الْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبِمَ يُشْبِهُ الْوَلَدُ.
English Translation
Yahya b. Sa'id told us, from Hisham, who said my father informed me, from Zaynab bint Umm Salamah, from Umm Salamah, who said: Umm Sulaym said, "O Messenger of Allah, Allah is not shy of the truth - must a woman perform a ritual bath if she has a wet dream?" He said, "Yes, if she sees the wetness." Umm Salamah laughed and said, "Does a woman have wet dreams?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then how does the child resemble [its mother]?"
