He said: Enough! "And if you do not find water"—that is only when you find no water, "then perform clean ablution." I said: What if the one punished has a wet dream and ghusl is required of him? By Allah, I once had a wet dream—'Ata' is the speaker—while I was under a hadd punishment, and I performed ghusl. He said: It is for them all, if they do not find water.
