• Ahmad was asked about the hadith of Anas, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went around to his wives. He said: "Yes." And Ahmad mentioned the hadith of Abu Rafi' and leaned toward it. It was said: What do you say yourself regarding this? He seemed to permit it.
It was said: Indeed, it is particularly difficult for the people of the mountains. He said: "Yes, I inform you; and it is perhaps more difficult than the ghusl," and he made it easy regarding it.
And the hadith of Abu Ishaq from al-Aswad from 'A'ishah was mentioned to him regarding that (1): "No one narrated it except Abu Ishaq."
239 - Abu al-Walid narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us, from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar, from Ibn 'Umar, that 'Umar came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: I am afflicted by janabah during the night, so what should I do? He said: "Wash your private part, then perform wudu', then sleep."
(1) Perhaps the word "qala" (he said) has been omitted here.
• قيل لأحمد: حديث أنس، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم طَافَ على نِسائه؟ قال: «نعم». وذَكَر أحمَد حديثَ أبي رافع، وذَهَب إليه. قيل: فما تَقول أنت في هذا؟ فكأنه رَخَّص فيه.
قيل: إن أهل الجبل خاصَّةً يَشتَدُّ عَلَيهم؟ قال: «نعم، أخبرك؛ ورُبَّما كان أَشَدَّ من الغسل»، وسَهَّل فيه.
وذُكر له حديث أبي إسحاق، عن الأسود، عن عائشَة، في ذلك؟ (١) «لم يروِه أَحَدٌ إلا أبو إسحاق».
٢٣٩ - حدثنا أبو الوَليد، قال: ثنا شُعبَة، عن عبد الله بن دينار، عن ابن عُمَر، أن عُمَر أتى رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: تُصيبُني الجَنابَة من الليل، فَكَيف أَصنَع؟ قال: ⦗١٥٦⦘ «اغسِل ذَكَرَك، ثم توضَّأ، ثم ارقُد».
(١) لعله سقط هنا: "قال".
