Good question — this hadith is actually authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) and not weak.
Here’s the summary:
1 The hadith wording
There are several narrations where ʿĀ’isha (رضي الله عنها) says she used to wash or scrape semen from the Prophet’s clothing. For example:
> ʿĀ’isha said:
“I used to scrape the semen from the garment of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he would go out to prayer in it.”
(Sahih Muslim, 288)
Another narration says:
> “I used to wash it from the garment of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he would go to prayer while water marks were still visible on his garment.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 229)
2 The grading
Both al-Bukhārī and Muslim include this narration in their Ṣaḥīḥ collections — which means it’s ṣaḥīḥ (authentic) by consensus.
Other versions are also reported by Abū Dāwūd, al-Tirmidhī, and others, also with authentic chains.
3 The context
The hadith is about ritual purity, not anything inappropriate.
It demonstrates:
That mani (semen) is considered impure (najis) according to some scholars (since ʿĀ’isha cleaned it), while others use this same narration to argue it’s not najis because she sometimes only scraped it off rather than washing.
It’s a fiqh (jurisprudence) issue, not a moral or sexual one.

Conclusion:
The hadith is authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) and recorded in both Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, not weak or fabricated.
Would you like me to show the exact Arabic text and isnād (chain of transmission)?
