1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الأوَّلِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي امْرَأَةٍ نَفِسَتْ فَتَرَكَتِ الصَّلاَةَ ثَلاَثِينَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ تَطَهَّرَتْ ثُمَّ رَأَتِ الدَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ تَدَعُ الصَّلاَةَ لأَنَّ أَيَّامَهَا أَيَّامُ الطُّهْرِ وَقَدْ جَازَتْ أَيَّامُ النِّفَاسِ.


1. Muhammad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Mu‘awiyah ibn Hukaym from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan, al-Awwal (a.s), was asked about a woman who after childbirth stops performing Salah (prayer) for thirty days, then finds a discharge-free period and finds blood discharge thereafter again. He (the Imam) said, ‘She must stop performing Salah (prayer) because her days are those of Hayd (menses)-free period and the number of days of period of childbirth has already passed.’”

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ نَفِسَتْ فَمَكَثَتْ ثَلاَثِينَ يَوْماً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ ثُمَّ طَهُرَتْ وَصَلَّتْ ثُمَّ رَأَتْ دَماً أَوْ صُفْرَةً قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتْ صُفْرَةً فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ وَلْتُصَلِّ وَلاَ تُمْسِكْ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ.


2. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn all from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s), about the case of a woman who after giving birth waited for thirty days or more, then she becomes clean and performs Salah (prayer), then experiences blood discharge or yellowish things. He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is yellowish she must take Ghusl (bath), perform Salah (prayer) and must not avoid Salah (prayer).”’

3ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي الْمَرْأَةِ يُصِيبُهَا الطَّلْقُ أَيَّاماً أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ فَتَرَى الصُّفْرَةَ أَوْ دَماً فَقَالَ تُصَلِّي مَا لَمْ تَلِدْ فَإِنْ غَلَبَهَا الْوَجَعُ فَفَاتَهَا صَلاَةٌ لَمْ تَقْدِرْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَهَا مِنَ الْوَجَعِ فَعَلَيْهَا قَضَاءُ تِلْكَ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ مَا تَطْهُرُ.


3. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali form ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa, who has said the following: “About the case of a woman who experiences pain of childbirth for several days or two days, then she finds yellowish discharge or blood, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s), has said, ‘She must perform Salah (prayer) until she gives birth. If because of pain she misses Salah (prayer) and is not able to perform there is Qada’ (compensatory prayer) of what is missed after she becomes clean.’”
