Chapter 138.0

One who bathed to cleanse himself from sexual impurity and there remained a spot on his body that was not touched by water: what should he do?

باب مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَبَقِيَ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ لُمْعَةً لَمْ يُصِبْهَا الْمَاءُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ

It was narrated that 'Ali said:

"A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: 'I bathed to cleanse myself from sexual impurity, and I prayed Fajr, then I noticed a spot the size of a fingernail that the water did not reach.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'If you had wiped it that would have been sufficient for you.'"
