Benefits of the Hadith (If he sat between her four limbs...)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In this hadith, there are benefits:
Among its benefits is the use of euphemism for what is ugly to mention, or for what one is shy to mention, as indicated by his saying:
When (a man) sits between the four parts of his wife's body إذا جلس بين شعبها الأربع
Sunan an-Nasa'i 191Sahih (Darussalam)
. It is well known that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not intend to sit on his buttocks on her four limbs; he certainly did not intend that. Rather, it is a euphemism for intercourse.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that the full ritual bath is obligatory when the effort is reached, and this is not realized except when the two circumcisions meet: the man's circumcision and the woman's circumcision. It is a euphemism, as many scholars have said, for concealing the glans in the private part. So whenever the concealment of the glans in the private part occurs, the full ritual bath becomes obligatory. As for what is less than that, it does not make the full ritual bath obligatory if there is no emission. That is to say, if a man places the head of his penis on the edge of the woman's private part and does not emit, he owes no full ritual bath. Why?
Because he did not exert effort with her, and she does not feel this either, meaning in terms of hardship.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that its apparent meaning is that the full ritual bath is obligatory, whether with a barrier or without a barrier. Because if he conceals his penis in her private part with a barrier, he will reach the effort from her. Yes, and this is the view of many scholars.
And some scholars said: It is not obligatory with a barrier, because in some wordings:
When the circumcised part touches the circumcised part إذا مس الختان الختان
Muwatta Malik 2:72
: and touching is not true except when it is without a barrier. And because the original ruling is the absence of obligation. But if there is an emission?
The full ritual bath is obligatory due to the emission. Yes, Muhammad?
The student: May Allah reward you. What made us prioritize the explicit wording of this hadith, which is?

The Shaykh : If he sat?
The student:
When the circumcised part touches the circumcised part إذا مس الختان الختان
Muwatta Malik 2:72
on the concept of the hadith:
If he exerted effort with her إذا جهدها
?

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: If the effort is reached.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: What made?

The Shaykh : Make us say that the perfection of pleasure is not achieved except by this. The issue has two opinions, even in our school; there are two opinions in it. But they say that the perfection of pleasure is not achieved except by touching. Is that sound?
The student: May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh. It is the same as a wet dream, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : A wet dream?
The student: Yes, a person feels desire...

The Shaykh : Yes, yes. It will come to us, if Allah wills. Umm Salim asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) about that, and he issued a ruling to her that the full ritual bath is not obligatory for her unless she sees the fluid.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : What?
No, yes, continue?
The student: The reason for Abu Ayyub's turning away.

The Shaykh : What?
The student: What is the reason for Abu Ayyub's turning away, when he did not do what is forbidden?

The Shaykh : We mentioned it, we mentioned it. Go back to the tape.
