حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي غُسْلٍ وَاحِدٍ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ بِغُسْلٍ وَاحِدٍ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْهُمُ الْحَسَنُ الْبَصْرِيُّ أَنْ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَعُودَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ . وَقَدْ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ هَذَا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ عَنْ أَبِي عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ . وَأَبُو عُرْوَةَ هُوَ مَعْمَرُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ . وَأَبُو الْخَطَّابِ قَتَادَةُ بْنُ دِعَامَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ . وَهُوَ خَطَأٌ وَالصَّحِيحُ عَنْ أَبِي عُرْوَةَ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 140
This Hadith is brief and focused. Anas narrated that the Prophet would go around to his wives with one ghusl. The wording points to one ghusl being used after going to his wives, rather than mentioning a separate ghusl between each time. The related Arabic commentary says the Hadith is hasan sahih and mentions that some people of knowledge saw no harm in returning before making wudu. The explanation should stay close to the narration: it speaks about ghusl from janabah in a marital setting and shows that one ghusl is mentioned for the whole situation described. It does not need added stories or extra detail.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration mentions one ghusl in connection with going to his wives.
- The focus is purification from janabah in a marital context.
- The report should be explained without adding details beyond its wording.
