Hadith 33854
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr that Umm Sulayman said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, "Should a woman do ghusl when she
experiences the same as a man in her sleep?" The Messenger of Al lah
said to her, "Yes, she should do ghusl. "A'isha said to her, "Shame on
you! Does a woman see that?" (i.e. a liquid.) The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to her, "May your right
hand be full of dust. From where does family resemblance come?"
Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 85

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."
Malik spoke about a man who found traces of a wet dream on his
clothes and did not know when it had occurred and did not remember
anything he had seen in his sleep. He said, "Let the intention of his
ghusl be from the time when he last slept, and if he has prayed since
that last sleep he should repeat it. This is because often a man has a
wet dream and sees nothing, and often he sees something but does not
have an emission. But, if he finds liquid on his garment he must do
ghusl. This is because Umar repeated what he had prayed after the time
he had last slept and not what was before it." Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 84

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father from Zaynab bint Abi Salama that Umm Salama, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Umm Salama,
the wife of Abu Talha al-Ansari, came to the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah!
Allah is not ashamed of the truth-does a woman have to do ghusl if she
has had an erotic dream?' He said, 'Yes, if she sees any liquid.' " Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 86
