Abdullah bin Saad reported that he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about what makes a full ritual bath obligatory, about the fluid that comes after the fluid, about praying in his house, about praying in the mosque, and about eating with a menstruating woman.He said, "Allah is not shy of the truth. As for myself, when I do such and such," and he mentioned the full bath. He said, "I perform ablution as I do for prayer, wash my private parts," then mentioned the full bath."As for the fluid that comes after the fluid, that is madhi. Every male emits madhi. So I wash my private parts from it 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 to pray in my house is more beloved to me than to pray in the mosque, unless it is an obligatory prayer.As for eating with a menstruating woman, eat with her."
عن عمه عبد الله بن سعد أنه سأل رسول الله ﷺ عما يوجب الغسل، وعن الماء يكون بعد الماء، وعن الصلاة في بيتي، وعن الصلاة في المسجد، وعن مؤاكلة الحائض. فقال: إن الله لا يستحيي من الحق، أما أنا فإذا فعلت كذا وكذا فذكر الغسل، قال: أتوضأ وضوئي للصلاة، أغسل فرجي ثم ذكر الغسل. وأما الماء يكون بعد الماء فذلك المذي، وكل فحل يمذي، فأغسل من ذلك فرجي، وأتوضأ. وأما الصلاة في المسجد والصلاة في بيتي، فقد ترى ما أقرب بيتي من المسجد، ولأن أصلي في بيتي أحب إلي من أن أصلي في المسجد إلا أن تكون صلاة مكتوبة. وأما مؤاكلة الحائض فواكلها.
Ahmad narrated it (19007) from Abdul-Rahman bin Mahdi, from Muawiya, meaning Ibn Salih, from Ala, meaning Ibn Harith, from Haram bin Hakeem, from his uncle Abdullah bin Saad, and he related it. Its isnad is hasan, for Haram bin Hakeem was deemed reliable by Daraqutni, Ibn Hibban, and others, while Ibn Hazm and others deemed him daif, though his hadith is hasan.There is disagreement over his father's name. Some say he is Haram bin Hakeem, which is correct, and others say Haram bin Muawiya, so Bukhari thought they were two different men, but the truth is that these are two names for a single man.The hadith was narrated by Tirmidhi (133), Ibn Majah (651), and Ibn Khuzayma in his Sahih (1202), all of them by way of Abdul-Rahman bin Mahdi, with his isnad, as a portion of it. Abu Dawud narrated it (212) by another route, from Ala bin Harith, with his isnad, and in it, "What is permissible for me with my wife while she is menstruating?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You may have what is above the waist-wrap." He also mentioned eating together with a menstruating woman.This hadith recurs in several places, if Allah wills.
