The title is derived from two cartoon characters, real or imagined, from British TV.
In this post we shall be looking at ahadith that speak of semen stains on the garment of Allah's boss.
'Amr b. Maimun said:
I asked Sulaiman b. Yasar whether the semen that gets on to the garment of a person should be washed or not. He replied: A'isha told me: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) washed the semen, and then went out for prayer in that very garment and I saw the mark of washing on it.
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
"I often scraped it (semen) from the garment of the Messenger of Allah with my hand."
The translator renders rubuma by "often". How often might he have gotten semen on his garment?
Allah's boss wasn't the only person to get semen on his garment.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Khattab led the people in the subh prayer and then went out to his land in Juruf and found semen on his clothes. He said, "Since we have been eating rich meat our veins have become fulsome." He did ghusl, washed the semen from his clothing, and did his prayer again.

It was narrated that 'Ali said:
"The Messenger of Allah was asked about prostatic fluid and he said: 'For that ablution (is necessary), and for semen, bath is necessary.'"
If bathing is necessary, did Allah's boss actually do so?
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
"I used to scrape the Janabah." On another occasion she said: "The semen from the garment of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)."
So it would seem that he would repeatedly get semen on his garment.
Narrated `Aishah:
I used to wash the semen off the clothes of the Prophet (ﷺ) and even then I used to notice one or more spots on them.
Hammam b. al-Harith reported, he has a sexual dream when he was staying with 'Aishah. The slave girl of 'Aishah saw him while he was washing the mark of defilement, or he was washing his clothe. She informed 'Aishah who said:
He witnessed me rubbing off the semen from the clothe of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
Abu Dawud said: Al-A'mash narrated it as narrated by al-Hakam.
Why was he staying at Aisha's? Was he actually masturbating?
Hammam bin Harith narrated:
"A guest came and stayed with 'Aishah, and she ordered that he be given a yellow blanket of hers. He had a nocturnal emission on it, and he felt too shy to send it back to send it back to her when it had the traces of that emission on it, so he dipped it in water and then sent it to her. 'Aishah said: 'Why did he spoil our garment? It would have been sufficient for him to scrape it off with his finger. I often scraped it (semen) from the garment of the Messenger of Allah with my finger.'"
More than one guy, it would seem, stayed over at Aisha's and had a wet dream.
Abdullah b. Shihab al-Khaulani reported:
I stayed in the house of 'A'isha and had a wet dream (and perceived its effect on my garment), so (in the morning) I dipped both (the clothes) in water. This (act of mine) was watched by a maid-servant of A'isha and she informed her. She (Hadrat A'isha) sent me a message: Whatprompted you to act like this with your clothes? He (the narrator) said: I told that I saw in a dream what a sleeper sees. She said: Did you find (any mark of the fluid) on your clothes? I said: No. She said: Had you found anything you should have washed it. Incase I found that (semen) on the garment of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) dried up, I scraped it off with my nails.
A post of mine:
Semen Scraping and Aisha: An Inconsistency
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“The prayer is severed by a woman, a dog and a donkey.”
With this in mind you'd expect the founder of Islam not to pray in front of a woman, which Aisha supposedly was. But we read:
"I saw myself rubbing semen off the garment of Allah's messenger [SAW] while he was praying."
