أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً الْخُرَاسَانِيَّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ خَوْلَةَ بِنْتِ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَحْتَلِمُ فِي مَنَامِهَا فَقَالَ " إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ " .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 198
This hadith about ghusl after a woman’s wet dream is narrated by Khawlah bint Hakim. She asked the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم about a woman who has a wet dream. He answered: “If she sees water, let her perform ghusl.” The wording is short and clear. It repeats the same practical condition found in related reports: the sight of water after the dream is tied to ghusl. The main search phrase is “if she sees water perform ghusl hadith.” This narration also shows that women asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم about personal purity matters and received direct answers. The explanation should stay with this simple structure: question about a wet dream, condition of water, then ghusl.

- Khawlah bint Hakim asked about a woman’s wet dream.
