اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا دَخَلْتَ اَلْغَائِطَ فَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ اَلرِّجْسِ اَلنِّجْسِ اَلْخَبِيثِ اَلْمُخْبِثِ اَلشَّيْطَانِ اَلرَّجِيمِ وَ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَقُلِ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي عَافَانِي مِنَ اَلْبَلاَءِ وَ أَمَاطَ عَنِّي اَلْأَذَى».

Narrated by Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, from Abu Basir, from one of the Imams (a.s): Imam (a.s) said: "When you enter the restroom, say: 'I seek refuge in Allah (swt) from the impure, filthy, evil, and defiling Satan, the accursed.' And when you finish, say: 'All praise is due to Allah (swt), who has relieved me from affliction and removed harm from me.'"

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ قَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي لَذَّتَهُ وَأَبْقَى قُوَّتَهُ فِي جَسَدِي وَأَخْرَجَ عَنِّي أَذَاهُ، يَا لَهَا نِعْمَةٌ ثَلَاثًا.

Narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Al-Abbas, from Abdullah ibn Al-Mughirah, from Abdullah ibn Maymun Al-Qaddah, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), from his fathers, from (Imam) Ali (a.s): Whenever He (a.s), exited the restroom, Imam (a.s) would say: "All praise is due to Allah (swt), who granted me its pleasure, preserved its strength in my body, and removed harm from me. What a blessing this is!" He would repeat it three times.

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى اَلْعُبَيْدِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« إِنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ قَضَاءَ اَلْحَاجَةِ وَقَفَ عَلَى بَابِ اَلْمَذْهَبِ ثُمَّ اِلْتَفَتَ يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالاً إِلَى مَلَكَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ« أَمِيطَا عَنِّي فَلَكُمَا اَللَّهُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لاَ أُحْدِثَ حَدَثاً حَتَّى أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْكُمَا»».

Narrated by Muhammad ibn Isa Al-Ubaydi, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Ibrahim ibn Abdul-Hamid: I heard Abu Abdullah (a.s), say: "Indeed, Commander of the Faithful (a.s), whenever he intended to relieve himself, he would stand at the entrance of the restroom, then look to his right and left towards his two angels and say: 'Step aside from me, for you have from me a promise before Allah (swt) that I will not commit any act (requiring your recording) until I return to you.'"

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لاِبْنِهِ طُولُ اَلْجُلُوسِ عَلَى اَلْخَلاَءِ يُورِثُ اَلْبَاسُورَ فَكُتِبَ هَذَا عَلَى بَابِ اَلْحَشِّ.

Narrated by Al-Abbas, from Al-Husayn ibn Yazid, from Isma'il ibn Abi Ziyad, from Muhammad ibn Muslim: I heard Abu Ja'far (a.s), say: "Luqman said to his son: 'Prolonged sitting in the restroom causes hemorrhoids.' So, this was written on the door of the lavatory."

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلتَّسْبِيحِ فِي اَلْمَخْرَجِ وَ قِرَاءَةِ اَلْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ« لَمْ يُرَخَّصْ فِي اَلْكَنِيفِ فِي أَكْثَرَ مِنْ آيَةِ اَلْكُرْسِيِّ وَ يَحْمَدُ اَللَّهَ أَوْ آيَةٍ».

Narrated by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamid, from Muhammad ibn Umar ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn 'Udhafir, from Umar ibn Yazid: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), about reciting tasbih (praises of Allah (swt)) and reading the Quran in the restroom. Imam (a.s) said: "It is not permitted in the lavatory to recite more than Ayat al-Kursi, or to praise Allah (swt), or to recite a verse."

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ اَلنَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ كَنِيفٌ مُسْتَقْبِلَ اَلْقِبْلَةِ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ« مَنْ بَالَ حِذَاءَ اَلْقِبْلَةِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ فَانْحَرَفَ عَنْهَا إِجْلاَلاً لِلْقِبْلَةِ وَ تَعْظِيماً لَهَا لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْ مَقْعَدِهِ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَغْفِرَ اَللَّهُ لَهُ».

Narrated by al-Haytham ibn Masruq al-Nahdi, from Muhammad ibn Isma'il: I entered upon Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha (a.s), and in his house, there was a lavatory facing the qiblah. I heard Imam (a.s) say: "Whoever urinates while facing the qiblah, and then remembers and turns away from it out of reverence and respect for the qiblah, shall not leave that position until Allah (swt) forgives him."

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ حَكَمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ يَبُولُ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ قَالَ« نَعَمْ وَ لَكِنَّهُ يُتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ يَلْتَبِسَ بِهِ اَلشَّيْطَانُ أَيْ يُخَبِّلَهُ» فَقُلْتُ يَبُولُ اَلرَّجُلُ فِي اَلْمَاءِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَ لَكِنْ يُتَخَوَّفُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلشَّيْطَانِ».

Narrated by Muhammad ibn Isa, from Sa'dan, from Hakam, from a man, who reported from Abu Abdullah(a.s): I asked Imam (a.s): "Can a man urinate while standing?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Yes, but it is feared that the Shaytan may afflict him (cause harm or madness)." I then asked: "Can a man urinate in water?" Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, but it is feared that the Shaytan may harm him."

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلرَّيَّانِ بْنِ اَلصَّلْتِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ:« يُكْرَهُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَوْ يُنْهَى اَلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يُطَمِّحَ بِبَوْلِهِ مِنَ اَلسَّطْحِ فِي اَلْهَوَاءِ».

Narrated by Ali ibn Al-Rayyan ibn Al-Salt, from Al-Hasan ibn Rashid, from Misma', who reported from Abu Abdullah (a.s): Commander of the Faithful (a.s), said that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "It is disliked, or a man is prohibited, from urinating from a rooftop into the air."

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى اَلْخَزَّازِ عَنْ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّهُ كَرِهَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ اَلْخَلاَءَ وَ مَعَهُ دِرْهَمٌ أَبْيَضُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَصْرُوراً».

Narrated by Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Muhammad ibn Yahya Al-Khazzaz, from Ghiyath, from Imam Al Ja’far (a.s), from his father Imam Al Baqir (a.s): Imam (a.s) disliked entering the restroom while carrying a white dirham (minted with name of Allah (swt)) unless it was tied up.

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ:« إِذَا اِنْكَشَفَ أَحَدُكُمْ لِبَوْلٍ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اَلشَّيْطَانَ يَغُضُّ بَصَرَهُ».

Narrated by Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali, from his father, from his forefathers (a.s): Imam (a.s) said that the Prophet, may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, said: "When one of you uncovers himself to urinate or for any other purpose, let him say; In the name of Allah (swt), for indeed, the Shaytan lowers his gaze."

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« نَهَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَنْ يُتَغَوَّطَ عَلَى شَفِيرِ بِئْرِ مَاءٍ يُسْتَعْذَبُ مِنْهَا أَوْ نَهَرٍ يُسْتَعْذَبُ أَوْ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فِيهَا ثَمَرَتُهَا».

Narrated by Ahmad, from Al-Barqi, from Al-Nawfali, from Al-Sakooni, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq (a.s), from his father Imam Al Baqir (a.s), from his forefathers, from (Imam) Ali (a.s), who said: Imam (a.s) said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, forbade relieving oneself on the edge of a well whose water is drawn for drinking, or in a river whose water is used for drinking, or under a tree that bears fruit."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَانَ اَلْحَدَثُ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِالْوُضُوءِ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ».

Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from Aban ibn Uthman, from Bukayr ibn A‘yan, from one of the two Imams (a.s), who said: Imam (a.s) said: "If an impurity occurs in the mosque, there is no harm in performing ablution in the mosque."

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سُدَيْرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رُبَّمَا بُلْتُ فَلَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَيَشْتَدُّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَيَّ. فَقَالَ: إِذَا بُلْتَ وَتَمَسَّحْتَ فَامْسَحْ ذَكَرَكَ بِرِيقِكَ، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْ هَذَا مِنْ ذَاكَ.

Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id narrated from Muhammad ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hanan ibn Sudayr, who said: I heard a man ask Abu ‘Abdullah (a.s), and he said: "I sometimes urinate but cannot find water, and this troubles me." He (Imam (a.s)) said: "If you urinate and wipe yourself, then wipe your private part with your saliva. If you find anything (afterward), say: 'This is from that.'"

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحِيمِ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اَلْخَصِيِّ يَبُولُ فَيَلْقَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ شِدَّةً فَيَرَى اَلْبَلَلَ بَعْدَ اَلْبَلَلِ قَالَ« يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يَنْتَضِحُ فِي اَلنَّهَارِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً».

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub narrated from Sa‘dan ibn Muslim, from ‘Abd al-Rahim, who said: I wrote to Abu al-Hasan (a.s), regarding a eunuch who urinates and experiences difficulty, seeing wetness repeatedly. He (the Imam (a.s)) replied: "He should perform ablution and sprinkle water (on his clothes) once during the day."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ص:« يَا مَعْشَرَ اَلْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلثَّنَاءَ فَمَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ»« قَالُوا نَسْتَنْجِي بِالْمَاءِ».

Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from al-Barqi, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hisham ibn al-Hakam: Abu ‘Abdullah (a.s) said: “The Messenger of Allah (swt), said: ‘O group of Ansar, Allah (swt) has praised you with good words, so what do you do (to deserve these good words)?’ They replied: "We cleanse ourselves with water."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ اَلْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ لَيْثٍ اَلْمُرَادِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اِسْتِنْجَاءِ اَلرَّجُلِ بِالْعَظْمِ أَوِ اَلْبَعَرِ أَوِ اَلْعُودِ قَالَ« أَمَّا اَلْعَظْمُ وَ اَلرَّوْثُ فَطَعَامُ اَلْجِنِّ وَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا اِشْتَرَطُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ» فَقَالَ «لاَ يَصْلُحُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ».

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Khalid, from Ahmad ibn ‘Abdus, from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from al-Mufaddal ibn Salih, from Laith al-Muradi, from Abu ‘Abdullah (a.s). He (Narrator) said: “I asked Imam (a.s) about a man performing istinja’ (cleaning after relieving oneself) using a bone, dung, or a stick. Imam (a.s) replied: "As for the bone and dung, they are the food of the jinn, and this is something they (Jinn) stipulated with the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family." Then Imam (a.s) said: "It is not permissible to use any of those."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ يَسْتَنْجِي مِنَ الْبَوْلِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَمِنَ الْغَائِطِ بِالْمَدَرِ وَالْخِرَقِ.

Ahmad ibn al-Husayn narrated from Hammad ibn ‘Isa, from Hariz, from Zurara. He (Narrator) said: “He (Zurara) used to perform istinja’ (cleaning after relieving oneself) from urine by washing three times, and from feces using clay or pieces of cloth.”

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« كَانَ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَتَمَسَّحُ مِنَ اَلْغَائِطِ بِالْكُرْسُفِ وَ لاَ يَغْسِلُ».

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ya'qub ibn Yazid, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Umar ibn Udhaynah, from Zurarah. He (Narrator) said: “I heard Abu Ja'far (a.s), say: ‘(Imam) Al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s), would cleanse himself after defecation with cotton and would not wash (with water for istinja).’"

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلاِسْتِنْجَاءُ بِالْمَاءِ اَلْبَارِدِ يَقْطَعُ اَلْبَوَاسِيرَ».

Ahmad ibn Abi Abdillah, from Al-Qasim ibn Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hasan ibn Rashid, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah (a.s). Imam (a.s) said: "Performing istinja (cleansing) with cold water cures hemorrhoids."

إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنْ شِهَابِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ لَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَداً يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ اَلْمَاءَ فَقِيلَ يَا أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِمَ لاَ تَدَعُهُمْ يَصُبُّونَ عَلَيْكَ اَلْمَاءَ فَقَالَ« لاَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ فِي صَلاَتِي أَحَداً»»

Ibrahim ibn Hashim, from Abdul-Rahman ibn Hammad, from Ibrahim ibn Abdul-Hamid, from Shihab ibn Abdul-Rabbih, from Abu Abdillah (a.s). Imam (a.s) said: "Commander of the Faithful (a.s), when performing ablution (wudu), would not allow anyone to pour water for him. It was said to him: 'O Commander of the Faithful, why do you not allow them to pour water for you?' He (Imam Ali (a.s)) replied: 'I do not like to have anyone share in my prayer.'"

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ طَهُورِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ فِي اَلنِّفَاسِ إِذَا طَهُرَتْ وَكَانَتْ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَسْتَنْجِيَ بِالْمَاءِ أَنَّهَا إِنِ اِسْتَنْجَتِ اِعْتَقَرَتْ هَلْ لَهَا رُخْصَةٌ أَنْ تَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْ خَارِجٍ وَ تَنْشِفَهُ بِقُطْنٍ أَوْ بِخِرْقَةٍ قَالَ« نَعَمْ لَتُنْقِي مِنْ دَاخِلٍ بِقُطْنٍ أَوْ بِخِرْقَةٍ».

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn al-Sindi, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Hariz, from Zurara and Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja'far (a.s). He (Narrator) said: “I asked Imam (a.s) about the purification of a woman in the state of postnatal bleeding (nifas) when she becomes pure but is unable to cleanse herself with water because doing so might cause her harm. Does she have permission to perform ablution (wudu) externally and then dry herself with cotton or a cloth?” Imam (a.s) replied: "Yes, she should cleanse herself internally with cotton or a cloth."

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلْفَصِّ يُتَّخَذُ مِنْ أَحْجَارِ زَمْزَمَ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ وَ لَكِنْ إِذَا أَرَادَ اَلاِسْتِنْجَاءَ نَزَعَهُ».

Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Abd Rabbih, said: I asked Imam (a.s): "What do you say about a ring (fuss) made from the stones of Zamzam?" Imam (a.s) replied: "There is no harm in it, but when one intends to perform istinja (purification after relieving oneself), he should remove it."

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا سَمَّيْتَ فِي اَلْوُضُوءِ طَهُرَ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ وَ إِذَا لَمْ تُسَمِّ لَمْ يَطْهُرْ مِنْ جَسَدِكَ إِلاَّ مَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ اَلْمَاءُ».

Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from some of our companions, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), said: Imam (a.s) said: "If you mention the name of Allah (swt) (say Bismillah) during wudu (ablution), your entire body becomes purified. However, if you do not mention the name of Allah (swt), only the parts of your body over which (wudu) water passes will be purified."

سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْتَنْجِيَ كَيْفَ يَقْعُدُ قَالَ« كَمَا يَقْعُدُ لِلْغَائِطِ» وَ قَالَ« إِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهُ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ بَاطِنَهُ».

Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Musa ibn al-Qasim, from Amr ibn Sa'id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), said: I asked Imam (a.s): "How should a man sit when he wants to perform istinja (cleaning after relieving oneself)?" Imam (a.s) replied: "He should sit as he sits for relieving himself." And Imam (a.s) said: "He is only required to wash the part that is visible and is not required to wash the inner part."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ غَالِبِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ رَوْحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحِيمِ قَالَ: بَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَمَعِي إِدَاوَةٌ أَوْ قَالَ كُوزٌ فَلَمَّا اِنْقَطَعَ شَخْبُ اَلْبَوْلِ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ« هَكَذَا إِلَيَّ» فَنَاوَلْتُهُ اَلْمَاءَ فَتَوَضَّأَ مَكَانَهُ.

Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Ibn Faddal, from Ghalib ibn Uthman, from Rawh ibn Abd al-Rahim, said: Abu Abdullah (a.s), sat and relieved himself while I was standing attending him with a water container or, he said, a jug. When the flow of urine stopped, Imam (a.s) gestured with his hand and said: "Give it to me like this." So I handed Imam (a.s) the water, and Imam (a.s) performed wudu (ablution) right there on the spot.

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ ابْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: رَجُلٌ بَالَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ؟ قَالَ: يَعْصِرُ أَصْلَ ذَكَرِهِ إِلَى طَرَفِ ذَكَرِهِ ثَلَاثَ عَصَرَاتٍ وَيَنْتُرُ طَرَفَهُ، فَإِنْ خَرَجَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ وَلَكِنَّهُ مِنَ الْحَبَائِلِ.

Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Ibn Muslim, said: I asked Abu Ja'far (a.s), about a man who urinates and does not have water with him. Imam (a.s) said: “He should squeeze the base of his private part toward its tip three times and shake its tip. If anything comes out after that, it is not urine but rather from the veins.”

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كَانُوا بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَهُمْ قَطْرَةُ بَوْلٍ قَرَضُوا لُحُومَهُمْ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ وَ قَدْ وَسَّعَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَوْسَعِ مَا بَيْنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ اَلْأَرْضِ وَ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اَلْمَاءَ طَهُوراً فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَكُونُونَ».

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ya'qub ibn Yazid, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Dawud ibn Farqad, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), said: Imam (a.s) said: “The Children of Israel, if a drop of urine touched any of them, would cut their flesh with scissors. But Allah (swt) has made things easier for you (Muslims), as vast as what lies between the heavens and the earth, and He (swt) has made water a purifier for you. So be mindful of how you conduct yourselves (regarding cleanliness).”

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا اِنْقَطَعَتْ دِرَّةُ اَلْبَوْلِ فَصُبَّ اَلْمَاءَ».

Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Jamil ibn Darraj, from Abu Abdillah (a.s), said: Imam (a.s) said: “When the flow of urine stops, pour water (for istinja).”

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَ الْحَدَثُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِالْوُضُوءِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ.

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Barqi, from Bukayr ibn A'yan, from one of the two Imams (a.s), said: Imam (a.s) said: “If an event requiring purification occurs in the mosque, there is no harm in performing wudu (ablution) in the mosque.”

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْوُضُوءِ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ فَكَرِهَهُ مِنَ اَلْبَوْلِ وَ اَلْغَائِطِ.

From him, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Rifa'ah, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah (a.s), about performing wudu (ablution) in the mosque. Imam (a.s) disliked it if it was due to urination or defecation.

سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ تَغْسِلُ فَرْجَ زَوْجِهَا فَقَالَ« وَ لِمَ مِنْ سُقْمٍ» قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ« مَا أُحِبُّ لِلْحُرَّةِ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ فَأَمَّا اَلْأَمَةُ فَلاَ تَضُرُّهُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ يَغْتَسِلُ اَلرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ مَا يُفْضِي بِهِ أَعْظَمُ».

Sa'd, from Ahmad, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Yunus ibn Ya'qub, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s): "Can a woman wash her husband's private parts?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Why? Is it due to an illness?" I said: "No." Imam (a.s) said: "I do not like a free woman to do so. However, as for a bondwoman, it does not harm him." I said to Imam (a.s): "Can a man perform ghusl (ritual bathing) in front of his wife?" Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, for what he exposes in front of her is even greater (compared to ghusl)."

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ اَلْفَضْلِ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ تَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ بِأَسْفَلِ قَمِيصِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ« يَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ اِفْعَلْ هَكَذَا فَإِنِّي هَكَذَا أَفْعَلُ».

From him, from Musa ibn Al-Hasan, from Ayyub ibn Nuh, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Marwan ibn Muslim, from Isma'il ibn Al-Fadl, who said: I saw Abu Abdillah (a.s), perform ablution for prayer. Then, Imam (a.s) wiped his face with the lower part of his shirt and said: "O Isma'il, do like this, for this is how I do it."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ:« اَلتَّسْوِيكُ بِالْإِبْهَامِ وَ اَلْمُسَبِّحَةِ عِنْدَ اَلْوُضُوءِ سِوَاكٌ».

Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan Al-Saffar, from Ibrahim ibn Hashim, from Al-Nawfali, from Al-Sakuni, from Ja'far (a.s), from his forefathers (a.s): Imam (a.s) said: “The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, said: "Rubbing with the thumb and forefinger during ablution is considered as a tooth-cleaning (siwak)."
