1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ إِنْ سَالَ مِنْ ذَكَرِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ مَذْيٍ أَوْ وَدْيٍ وَأَنْتَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلاَ تَغْسِلْهُ وَلاَ تَقْطَعِ الصَّلاَةَ وَلاَ تَنْقُضْ لَهُ الْوُضُوءَ وَإِنْ بَلَغَ عَقِيبَكَ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ النُّخَامَةِ وَكُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْكَ بَعْدَ الْوُضُوءِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْحَبَائِلِ أَوْ مِنَ الْبَوَاسِيرِ وَلَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَلاَ تَغْسِلْهُ مِنْ ثَوْبِكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تُقْذِرَهُ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘If certain fluids (called al-Madhiy or Wadiy) other than semen and urine come out of your urethra during Salah (prayer), you do not have to wash them or discontinue your Salah (prayer); nor do they invalidate Wudu’ even if such fluids reach up to your backside. It is like nasal mucus. Everything like this that may come out from you after Wudu’ is of secreted lubricants or Hemorrhoids, and they do not matter and it is not necessary to wash unless they are dirty.’”

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الْمَذْيِ فَقَالَ مَا هُوَ وَالنُّخَامَةُ إِلاَّ سَوَاءٌ.

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from ‘Umar ibn Hanzalah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about al-Madhiy. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is only like nasal mucus. They are very similar.’”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا (عَلَيْهِما الْسَّلام) عَنِ الْمَذْيِ فَقَالَ لاَ يَنْقُضُ الْوُضُوءَ وَلاَ يُغْسَلُ مِنْهُ ثَوْبٌ وَلاَ جَسَدٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُخَاطِ وَالْبُزَاقِ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah from Burayd ibn Mu‘awiyah who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imams, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about al-Madhiy (certain secreted lubricant from urethra). He (the Imam) said, ‘It does not invalidate Wudu’ and it is not necessary to wash one’s clothes or body. It is only like nasal mucus and saliva.’”

4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الْمَذْيِ يَسِيلُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ الْفَخِذَ فَقَالَ لاَ يَقْطَعُ صَلاَتَهُ وَلاَ يَغْسِلُهُ مِنْ فَخِذِهِ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ مَخْرَجِ الْمَنِيِّ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ النُّخَامَةِ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about al-Madhiy which flows all the way to one’s thigh. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not necessary for one to discontinue one’s Salah (prayer) to wash it from one’s thigh. It does not come out of the passage from which semen comes. It is only like nasal mucus.
