حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ مَنْ أَرْضَي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ ذَلِكَ رُخْصَةً لِلنَّاسِ فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ لِقِلَّةِ الثِّيَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالْغُسْلِ وَنَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ يَعْنِي الْمَاءَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم made a concession in the early days of Islam on account of the paucity of clothes that one should not take a bath if one has sexual intercourse (and has no seminal emission). But later on her commanded to take a bath in such a case and prohibited its omission. Au Dawood said: Meaning "Water is only for water."
