Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that he heard someone ask Said ibn al-Musayyab about washing off excreta with water. Said said, "That is the way women wash."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، يُسْأَلُ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ، مِنَ الْغَائِطِ بِالْمَاءِ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ وُضُوءُ النِّسَاءِ ‏.‏
