Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman
ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Khattab led the people in the subh prayer
and then went out to his land in Juruf and found semen on his clothes.
He said, "Since we have been eating rich meat our veins have become
fulsome." He did ghusl, washed the semen from his clothing, and did
his prayer again.

Sulayman ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Khattab went out early in the
morning to his land in al-Juruf and found semen on his garment. He
said, "I have been tried with wet dreams since I have been entrusted
with governing the people." He did ghusl and washed his garment of
what he saw of the semen, and then prayed after the sun had risen.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father fromYahyaibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Ha ib that he had set off for
Mumra with Umar ibn al-Khattab in a party of riders, among whom was
Amr ibn al-As. Umar ibn al-Khattab dismounted for a rest late at night
on a certain road near a certain oasis. Umar had a wet dream when it
was almost dawn and there was no water among the riding party. He rode
until he came to some water and then he began to wash off what he saw
of the semen until it had gone. Amr ibn al-As said to him, "It is
morning and there are clothes with us, so allow your garment to be
washed. ''Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "I am surprised at you, Amr
ibn al-As! Even if you could find clothes, would everybody be able to
find them? By Allah, if I were to do it, it would become a sunna. No,
I wash what I see, and I sprinkle with water what I do not see."
