sahih

'A'isha the wife of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reported. A person asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about one who has sexual intercourse with his wife and parts away (without orgasm) whether bathing is obligatory for him. 'A'isha was sitting by him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

I and she (the Mother of the Faithful) do it and then take a bath.

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عِيَاضُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ إِنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُجَامِعُ أَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ يُكْسِلُ هَلْ عَلَيْهِمَا الْغُسْلُ وَعَائِشَةُ جَالِسَةٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

‏ إِنِّي لأَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ أَنَا وَهَذِهِ ثُمَّ نَغْتَسِلُ ‏

‏ ‏.‏

Purity is believers' symbol so the Prophet (ﷺ) used to teach his companions the rules of purification and they used to ask him about anything they did not understand. In this hadith, Aisha narrated that a man asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the Islamic point of view if a man had intercourse with his wife but he did not ejaculate due to listlessness. The Prophet (ﷺ) answered him while his wife Aisha was sitting, “I and she are doing so then we take a bath." He wanted to clarify that bathing was obligatory after intercourse even if there was no ejaculation. In the two Sahihs, Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If he sits between her four limbs and the circumcision touches the circumcision, bathing is obligatory.” In Muslim's narration, he added, "Even if he does not ejaculate.".
