Umm Sulaym came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, verily, Allah is not shy of telling the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Yes, if she notices a discharge. Umm Salamah then covered her face and asked: O Messenger of Allah, does a woman have a wet dream? He replied: Yes, let your right hand be in dust (an Arabic expression said when contradicting someone, meaning: you will not achieve goodness); and that is why her child resembles her.
