حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ حُرَيْثٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ رُبَّمَا اغْتَسَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَاسْتَدْفَأَ بِي فَضَمَمْتُهُ إِلَىَّ وَلَمْ أَغْتَسِلْ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ بَأْسٌ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالتَّابِعِينَ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَسْتَدْفِئَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ وَيَنَامَ مَعَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ الْمَرْأَةُ . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 123
This Hadith gives a simple picture from the home of the Prophet. Aishah said that sometimes the Prophet would perform ghusl from janabah, then come to her for warmth. She would hold him, while she herself had not performed ghusl. The main topic is purity after ghusl and normal closeness between husband and wife. The report does not turn the matter into fear or distance. It shows that after he had washed, he could seek warmth from his wife, even though she had not yet performed ghusl. The wording stays practical and gentle, and it teaches that worship-related purity can exist with natural family affection.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet performed ghusl from janabah before seeking warmth.
- Marital closeness is shown in a simple and natural way.
- The narration does not treat the wife as personally defiled.
