Narrated Um Salama: Um-Sulaim came to Allah's Apostle and said, Verily, Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge?) The Prophet replied, Yes, if she notices a discharge. Um Salama, then covered her face and asked, O Allah's Apostle! Does a woman get a discharge? He replied, Yes, let your right hand be in dust (An Arabic expression you say to a person when you contradict his statement meaning you will not achieve goodness ), and that is why the son resembles his mother.
