In another wording of his: “I used to scrape it off his garment with my fingernail when it was dry.” 1 — Muslim (290) reported through Abd Allah ibn Shihab al-Khawlani, who said: I was staying with A'ishah. I had a nocturnal experience, so I immersed my garment in water. A young woman belonging to A'ishah saw me and told her. A'ishah sent for me and said, “What made you do that to your garments?” I said, “I saw what a sleeper sees in a dream.” She asked, “Did you see anything on them?” I said, “No.” She said, “Had you seen something, you would have washed it. I used to scrape something dry from the garment of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with my fingernail.”
