Sunan Abu Dawood Chapter No: 1, Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)

Hadith no: 214

Narrated: Ubai bin Ka'ab RA


The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a concession in the early days of islam on account of the paucity of clothes that one should not take a bath if one has sexual intercourse (and has no seminal emission). But later on he commanded to take a bath in such a case and prohibited its omission.
