Sunan Abi Dawud 236 (Book 1, Hadith 236) #20527
Taking Bath After Sexual Dreams

SUMMARY: A person should take a bath if they find moisture on their body or clothes after having a sexual dream, but it is not necessary if no moisture is found. Women must take a bath even if they do not find any moisture.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Prophet was asked about a person who found moisture (on his body or clothes) but did not remember the sexual dream. He replied: He should take a bath. He was asked about a person who remembered that he had a sexual dream but did not find moisture. He replied: Bath is not necessary for him. Umm Salamah then asked: Is washing necessary for a woman if she sees that (in her dream)? He replied: Yes. Woman are counterpart of men.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْخَيَّاطُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْعُمَرِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَجِدُ الْبَلَلَ وَلاَ يَذْكُرُ احْتِلاَمًا قَالَ ‏"‏ يَغْتَسِلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَعَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدِ احْتَلَمَ وَلاَ يَجِدُ الْبَلَلَ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ غُسْلَ عَلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ الْمَرْأَةُ تَرَى ذَلِكَ أَعَلَيْهَا غُسْلٌ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ إِنَّمَا النِّسَاءُ شَقَائِقُ الرِّجَالِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of taking a bath after having a sexual dream. If someone finds moisture on their body or clothes, then they must take a bath to cleanse themselves from any impurity that may have been caused by the dream. Even if no moisture is found, women are still required to take a bath as they are counterparts of men in this regard. It teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions and maintain our purity at all times by following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
