Muwatta 125

A report that Malik transmits from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father, from Yahya ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Hatib, in the chapter on the man who repeats prayer: Yahya went on a lesser pilgrimage with Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him) in a company that included Amr ibn al-As (may God be pleased with him). Umar stopped at the end of the night to rest near water, had a wet dream when dawn was almost there, and found no water with the company. He rode on until he reached water and washed what he had seen of the dream until dawn lit. Amr said, "You have already reached morning, and we have clothes; leave your garment to be washed". Umar answered in wonder: "If you find clothes, does everyone find them?" He swore that if he did that it would become a practice that people follow, and that he should wash what he had seen and sprinkle what he had not. The editor explains ta'rris as stopping at the end of the night to rest, and cites Abd al-Razzaq's Musannaf and al-Tahawi. ¹
