Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ أَرْسَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ - رضى الله عنه - الْمِقْدَادَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِدُ الْمَذْىَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ يَغْسِلُ ذَكَرَهُ ثُمَّ لْيَتَوَضَّأْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Suwayd ibn Nasr informed us; he said: ‘Abdullah informed us, from Layth ibn Sa‘d, from Bukayr ibn al-Ashajj, from Sulayman ibn Yasar, who said: ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, sent al-Miqdad to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ask him about a man who experiences madhy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Let him wash his penis, then perform wudu’.”
