Narrated Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, from Waki', Abu Mu'awiyah, and Hushaym, from al-A'mash, from Mundhir ibn Ya'la—who was known by the kunya Abu Ya'la—from Ibn al-Hanafiyyah, from 'Ali, who said: "I was a man who frequently emitted madhy (prostatic fluid), and I was too shy to ask the Prophet (peace be upon him) because of his daughter's position [in my household]. So I told al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad to ask him, and he asked him. He (the Prophet) said: 'He should wash his penis and perform wudu' (ablution).'"
