<p align="right">حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِذَا جَاوَزَ الْخِتَانُ الْخِتَانَ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ ‏"‏ إِذَا جَاوَزَ الْخِتَانُ الْخِتَانَ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَعَائِشَةُ وَالْفُقَهَاءِ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ مِثْلِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ قَالُوا إِذَا الْتَقَى الْخِتَانَانِ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ ‏.‏</p>

Narrated by Hannad, narrated by Wakee’, from Sufyan, from Ali ibn Zayd, from Sa’id ibn al-Musayyib, from Aisha who said:

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “When the circumcised part passes the circumcised part, ghusl (ritual washing) becomes obligatory.”

Abu Eisa (i.e., Imam Tirmidhi) said: This hadith of Aisha is a hasan sahih (good and authentic) hadith. It has been narrated through different chains of transmission from Aisha on the authority of the Prophet (peace be upon him): “When the circumcised parts meet, ghusl becomes obligatory.”

This is also the opinion of the majority of the scholars among the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), including Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, and Aisha, and the jurists among the Tabi'een (successors) and those after them, such as Sufyan al-Thawri, al-Shafi’i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. They said: “When the two circumcised parts meet, ghusl becomes obligatory.”

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al- Musayyab that Umar ibn al-Khattab and Uthman ibn Affan and A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, "When the circumcised part touches the circumcised part, ghusl is obligatory."

Aishah narrated: "When the circumcised meets the circumcised, then indeed Ghusl is required. Myself and Allah's Messenger did that, so we performed Ghusl."

It was narrated that 'Aishah the wife of the Prophet said: "When the two circumcised parts meet, then bath is obligatory. The Messenger of Allah and I did that, and we bathed."

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet (May peace be upon him) as saying: <mark style="color:red;">when anyone sits between the four limbs of a woman and sticks the circumcised part in the circumcised part, then Ghusl (full ablution) becomes obligatory.</mark>

Narrated Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah:\
A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her: <mark style="color:red;">Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.</mark>\
Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by 'Ubaid Allah b. 'Amr from 'Abd al-Malik to the same effect through a different chain.\
Abu Dawud said: It is not a strong tradition. It has been transmitted in mursal form (missing the link of the Companions)\
Abu Dawud said: Muhammad b. Hasan is obscure, and this tradition is weak.
