Hadith 1

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اِغْتَسَلَ أَبِي مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَدْ بَقِيَتْ لُمْعَةٌ مِنْ ظَهْرِكَ لَمْ يُصِبْهَا اَلْمَاءُ فَقَالَ لَهُ« مَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ لَوْ سَكَتَّ» ثُمَّ مَسَحَ تِلْكَ اَللُّمْعَةَ بِيَدِهِ».

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub narrated from Ahmad, from al-Husayn, from Fadalah, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Basir, who reported from Abu Abdullah (a.s): Imam (a.s) said: "My father (Imam Al Baqir (a.s)) performed ghusl (ritual purification) from janabah (major ritual impurity). It was said to Imam (a.s): 'There is still a small spot on your back that has not been touched by water.' He (Imam Al Baqir (a.s)) replied: 'It would have been better for you to remain silent.' Then He (Imam Al Baqir (a.s)) wiped that spot with (moisture from) his hand."

Hadith 2

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ« إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ غَداً مَنْزِلاً لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَاغْتَسِلُوا اَلْيَوْمَ لِغَدٍ» فَاغْتَسَلْنَا يَوْمَ اَلْخَمِيسِ لِلْجُمُعَةِ.

It is narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from some of his companions, who reported from Abu Abdullah (a.s): Imam (a.s) said to his (travel) companions: "Tomorrow you will arrive at a place where there is no water, so perform (Jumu’ah) ghusl (ritual purification) today in preparation for tomorrow." Thus, we performed ghusl on Thursday for the Friday prayer.

Hadith 3

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أُمِّهِ وَ أُمِّ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَتَا: كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِالْبَادِيَةِ وَ نَحْنُ نُرِيدُ بَغْدَادَ فَقَالَ لَنَا يَوْمَ اَلْخَمِيسِ« اِغْتَسِلاَ اَلْيَوْمَ لِغَدٍ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّ اَلْمَاءَ غَداً بِهَا قَلِيلٌ» فَاغْتَسَلْنَا يَوْمَ اَلْخَمِيسِ لِيَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ.

It is narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Musa ibn Ja‘far, from his mother and the mother of Ahmad ibn Musa ibn Ja‘far (a.s): They (Narrators) said: “We were with Abu al-Hasan (a.s) in the desert while we were heading to Baghdad. Imam (a.s) said to us on Thursday: ‘Perform ghusl (ritual purification) today for tomorrow, which is Friday, for the water will be scarce there tomorrow.’ So, we performed ghusl on Thursday for the Friday prayer.”

Hadith 4

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الأَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَيْفَ صَارَ غُسْلُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاجِبًا؟ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَتَمَّ صَلَاةَ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِصَلَاةِ النَّافِلَةِ، وَأَتَمَّ صِيَامَ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِصِيَامِ النَّافِلَةِ، وَأَتَمَّ وُضُوءَ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِغُسْلِ الْجُمُعَةِ، مَا كَانَ فِي ذٰلِكَ مِنْ سَهْوٍ أَوْ تَقْصِيرٍ أَوْ نِسْيَانٍ.

It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad, from Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad, from Ali ibn Saif, from his father, from al-Husayn ibn Khalid al-Sayrafi. He (Narrator) said: “I asked Abu al-Hasan al awwal (the First) (a.s), ‘Why has the ghusl (ritual purification) of Friday been made obligatory?’" Imam (a.s) replied: "Indeed, Allah (swt) the Exalted has completed the obligatory prayer with the supererogatory prayer, and He (swt) completed the obligatory fasting with supererogatory fasting, and He (swt) completed the obligatory wudu (ablution) with the ghusl of Friday, to make up for any error, shortcoming, or forgetfulness therein."

Hadith 5

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كَانَتِ اَلْأَنْصَارُ تَعْمَلُ فِي نَوَاضِحِهَا وَ أَمْوَالِهَا فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ اَلْجُمُعَةِ جَاءُوا فَتَأَذَّى اَلنَّاسُ بِأَرْوَاحِ آبَاطِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِالْغُسْلِ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فَجَرَتْ بِذَلِكَ اَلسُّنَّةُ».

It is narrated from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan, from his father, from Muhammad ibn Marwan ibn Muslim, from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, from Abu Abdullah (a.s). Imam (a.s) said: "The Ansar used to work on their fields and properties. When Friday came, people would be disturbed by the odours from their armpits and bodies. So the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) commanded them to perform ghusl (ritual purification) on Fridays, and thus it became a Sunnah (established practice)."

Hadith 6

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى اَلْعُبَيْدِيِّ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَ قَدْ وَضَعَتْ قُمْقُمَتَهَا فِي اَلشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ« يَا حُمَيْرَاءُ مَا هَذَا» قَالَتْ أَغْسِلُ رَأْسِي وَ جَسَدِي فَقَالَ« لاَ تَعُودِي فَإِنَّهُ يُورِثُ اَلْبَرَصَ»».

It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Isa al-Ubaydi, from Durust, from Ibrahim ibn Abdul-Hamid: Abu al-Hasan (a.s) said: “The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) entered upon Aisha, and she had placed her water jug in the sun. He (saws) said: "O Humayra, what is this?" She replied: "I use it to wash my head and body." He (saws) said: "Do not do this again, for it causes leprosy."

Commentary 1

قال محمد بن الحسن: هذا الخبر محمول على ضرب من الكراهية لا الحظر لان ما ترك في الشمس من المياه لا باس باستعماله، والذي يكشف عما ذكرناه.

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan said: “This narration indicates a form of dislike (karaha) rather than prohibition (haram), as using water that has been left in the sun is not prohibited. This clarification supports what we have mentioned.”

Hadith 7

مَا رَوَاهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُتَوَضَّأَ بِالْمَاءِ اَلَّذِي يُوضَعُ فِي اَلشَّمْسِ».

It is narrated by Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Hamza ibn Ya'la, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, who said that one of our companions narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm in performing wudu (ablution) with water that has been placed in the sun."

Hadith 8

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ اَلْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصِيبُ اَلْمَاءَ فِي اَلسَّاقِيَةِ أَوْ مُسْتَنْقَعاً فَيَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ يَكُونَ اَلسِّبَاعُ قَدْ شَرِبَتْ مِنْهَا يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ لِلْجَنَابَةِ وَ يَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ إِذَا كَانَ لاَ يَجِدُ غَيْرَهُ وَاَلْمَاءُ لاَ يَبْلُغُ صَاعاً لِلْجَنَابَةِ وَ لاَ مُدّاً لِلْوُضُوءِ وَ هُوَ مُتَفَرِّقٌ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ كَفُّهُ نَظِيفَةً فَلْيَأْخُذْ كَفّاً مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ بِيَدٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ لْيَنْضِحْهُ خَلْفَهُ وَ عَنْ أَمَامِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَإِنْ خَشِيَ أَنْ لاَ يَكْفِيَهُ غَسَلَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ جِلْدَهُ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُجْزِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى».

Muhammad bin Ali bin Mahbub, from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Ismail Al-Hashimi, from Abdullah bin Al-Hasan, from his grandfather Ali bin Ja'far, from his brother Imam Musa bin Ja'far (a.s), said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who finds water in a stream or a stagnant pool and fears that wild animals may have drunk from it. Can he perform ghusl for janabah and wudu for prayer with it if he cannot find any other water, and the water does not amount to a sa‘ for janabah or a mudd for wudu, and it is scattered? What should he do? Imam (a.s) said: "If his hand is clean, let him take a handful of water with one hand and sprinkle it behind him, in front of him, to his right, and to his left. If he fears that it will not be sufficient, let him wash his head three times, then wipe his skin with his hand. That will suffice him, Allah (swt) willing."

Hadith 9

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِذَا اِغْتَسَلْتَ مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ فَقُلِ اَللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِي وَ تَقَبَّلْ سَعْيِي وَ اِجْعَلْ مَا عِنْدَكَ خَيْراً لِي اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْنِي مِنَ اَلتَّوَّابِينَ وَ اِجْعَلْنِي مِنَ اَلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ وَ إِذَا اِغْتَسَلْتَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ فَقُلِ اَللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِي مِنْ كُلِّ آفَةٍ تَمْحَقُ بِهَا دِينِي وَ تُبْطِلُ بِهَا عَمَلِي اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْنِي مِنَ اَلتَّوَّابِينَ وَ اِجْعَلْنِي مِنَ اَلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ».

From him, from Ahmad bin Al-Hasan bin Ali, from Amr bin Saeed, from Musaddiq bin Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, who said: Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: "When you perform ghusl from janabah, say: 'O Allah (swt), purify my heart and accept my effort, and make what is with You better for me. O Allah (swt), make me among those who repent often, and make me among those who purify themselves.' And when you perform ghusl for Friday, say: 'O Allah (swt), purify my heart from every affliction that destroys my religion and invalidates my deeds. O Allah (swt), make me among those who repent often, and make me among those who purify themselves.'"

Hadith 10

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصِيبُ بِثَوْبِهِ مَنِيّاً وَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ اِحْتَلَمَ قَالَ« لِيَغْسِلْ مَا وَجَدَ بِثَوْبِهِ وَ لْيَتَوَضَّأْ».

Muhammad bin Ali bin Mahbub, from Ali bin Al-Sindi, from Hammad bin Isa, from Shu'ayb, from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man who finds semen on his garment but does not know that he experienced a wet dream. Imam (a.s) said: "He should wash what he finds on his garment and perform wudu."

Hadith 11

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَرَى فِي ثَوْبِهِ اَلْمَنِيَّ بَعْدَ مَا يُصْبِحُ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَأَى فِي مَنَامِهِ أَنَّهُ قَدِ اِحْتَلَمَ قَالَ« فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَ لْيَغْسِلْ ثَوْبَهُ وَ يُعِيدُ صَلاَتَهُ».

Al-Husayn bin Saeed, from Al-Hasan, from Zur'ah, from Sama’ah, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who sees semen on his garment after waking up in the morning but did not see in his dream that he experienced a wet dream. Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform ghusl, wash his garment, and repeat his prayer."

Commentary 2

وروى هذا الحديث بلفظ آخر.

And this Hadith has also been narrated with another wording.

Hadith 12

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَنَامُ وَ لَمْ يَرَ فِي نَوْمِهِ أَنَّهُ قَدِ اِحْتَلَمَ فَوَجَدَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ اَلْمَاءَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ غُسْلٌ قَالَ« نَعَمْ».

Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Uthman bin Isa, from Sama’ah, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man who sleeps and does not see in his dream that he experienced a wet dream, but then finds water on his garment and on his thigh. Does he have to perform ghusl? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes."

Commentary 3

فلا تنافي بين هذين الخبرين والخبر الاول لان الوجه في الجمع بينهما أن الثوب الذي لا يشاركه في استعماله غيره متى وجد عليه منيا وجب عليه الغسل واعادة الصلاة إن كان قد صلى لجواز أن يكون قد نسي الاحتلام وأما ما يشاركه فيه غيره فلا يوجب عليه الغسل إلا إذا تيقن الاحتلام.

There is no contradiction between these narrations and the first narration, because the way to reconcile them is that if the garment is used exclusively by him, then whenever he finds semen on it, he must perform ghusl and repeat his prayer if he has prayed, as it is possible that he forgot the wet dream. However, if the garment is shared with others, he is not required to perform ghusl unless he is certain that he experienced a wet dream.

Hadith 13

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ اِحْتَلَمَ فَلَمَّا اِنْتَبَهَ وَجَدَ بَلَلاً قَلِيلاً قَالَ« لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَرِيضاً فَإِنَّهُ يَضْعُفُ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْغُسْلُ».

Muhammad bin Ali bin Mahbub, from Al-Abbas, from Abdullah bin Al-Mughirah, from Mu'awiyah bin Ammar: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man who experienced a wet dream, and when he woke up, he found a small amount of wetness. Imam (a.s) said: "It is nothing unless he is ill, for in that case, he becomes weak, and ghusl is required."

Hadith 14

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي رَجُلٍ اِحْتَلَمَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ نَظَرَ إِلَى ثَوْبِهِ فَلَمْ يَرَ بِهِ شَيْئاً قَالَ« يُصَلِّي فِيهِ» قُلْتُ فَرَجُلٌ رَأَى فِي اَلْمَنَامِ أَنَّهُ اِحْتَلَمَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ وَجَدَ بَلَلاً قَلِيلاً عَلَى طَرَفِ ذَكَرِهِ قَالَ« لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْغُسْلُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ« إِنَّمَا اَلْغُسْلُ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ اَلْأَكْبَرِ»».

Al-Husayn bin Saeed, from Fadalah, from Al-Husayn bin Uthman, from Ibn Muskan, from Anbasah bin Mus'ab, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s) regarding a man who experienced a wet dream, and when he woke up in the morning, he looked at his garment and did not find anything on it. Imam (a.s) said: "He may pray in it." I said: “What about a man who saw in a dream that he experienced a wet dream, and when he got up, he found a small amount of wetness on the tip of his private part?” Imam (a.s) said: "Ghusl is not required for him. Indeed, (Imam) Ali (a.s) used to say: 'Ghusl is only required for the greater discharge of fluid.'"

Hadith 15

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ وَلِيَهَا قَمِيصُهَا أَوْ إِزَارُهَا يُصِيبُهُ مِنْ بَلَلِ اَلْفَرْجِ وَ هِيَ جُنُبٌ أَ تُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ« إِذَا اِغْتَسَلَتْ صَلَّتْ فِيهِمَا»

Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Ibrahim bin Abi Mahmoud, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha (a.s) about a woman whose shirt or lower garment is affected by the moisture from her private part while she is in a state of janabah. Should she pray in it? Imam (a.s) said: "If she performs ghusl, she may pray in them."

Hadith 16

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كُنَّ نِسَاءُ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا اِغْتَسَلْنَ مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ يُبْقِينَ صُفْرَةَ اَلطِّيبِ عَلَى أَجْسَادِهِنَّ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَصْبُبْنَ اَلْمَاءَ صَبّاً عَلَى أَجْسَادِهِنَّ».

Muhammad bin Ali bin Mahbub, from Al-Abbas bin Ma'ruf, from Al-Husayn bin Yazid, from Isma'il bin Abi Ziyad, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq (a.s), from his father Imam Al Baqir (a.s), from his forefathers (a.s), who said: Imam (a.s) said: "The wives of the Prophet (saws), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, when they performed ghusl (ritual bathing) after janabah (major ritual impurity), would leave traces of the yellow fragrance (sufrah al-tib) on their bodies. This was because the Prophet (saws), may Allah (swt) bless him and his family, ordered them to pour water over their bodies abundantly."

Hadith 17

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَرَى فِي اَلْمَنَامِ وَ يَجِدُ اَلشَّهْوَةَ فَيَسْتَيْقِظُ فَيَنْظُرُ فَلاَ يَجِدُ شَيْئاً ثُمَّ يَمْكُثُ اَلْهُوَيْنَ بَعْدُ فَيَخْرُجُ قَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَرِيضاً فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَا اَلْفَرْقُ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ« لِأَنَّ اَلرَّجُلَ إِذَا كَانَ صَحِيحاً جَاءَ اَلْمَاءُ بِدَفْعَةٍ قَوِيَّةٍ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً لَمْ يَجِئْ إِلاَّ بَعْدُ».

From him, from Al-Abbas, from Abdullah bin Al-Mughirah, from Hariz, from Abdullah bin Abi Ya'fur, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): “A man sees something in a dream and feels desire, then wakes up and checks but finds nothing. After a short while, something comes out.” Imam (a.s) said: "If he is ill, then he must perform ghusl. But if he is not ill, then there is nothing upon him." I said to Imam (a.s): “What is the difference between the two?” Imam (a.s) said: "Because when a man is healthy, the (seminal) fluid comes out with a strong discharge, but if he is ill, it does not come out except afterward."

Hadith 18

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ رَأَى فِي مَنَامِهِ فَوَجَدَ اَللَّذَّةَ وَ اَلشَّهْوَةَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَرَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ شَيْئاً قَالَ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْغُسْلُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ صَحِيحاً فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ».

From him, from Musa bin Ja'far bin Wahb, from Dawood bin Mahziyar, from Ali bin Isma'il, from Hariz, from Muhammad bin Muslim, who said: I said to Abu Ja'far (a.s): “A man sees something in his dream, feels pleasure and desire, then gets up and does not find anything on his garment.” Imam (a.s) said: "If he is ill, then ghusl is required. But if he is healthy, then there is nothing upon him."

Hadith 19

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ اَلْأَعْرَجِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« يَنَامُ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ وَ تَنَامُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ هِيَ جُنُبٌ».

Al-Husayn bin Sa’eed, from Al-Nadr, from Muhammad bin Abi Hamzah, from Sa’eed Al-A‘raj, who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (a.s) say: "A man may sleep while he is in a state of janabah, and a woman may sleep while she is in a state of janabah."

Hadith 20

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْجُنُبِ يُجْنِبُ ثُمَّ يُرِيدُ اَلنَّوْمَ قَالَ« إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَ اَلْغُسْلُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ هُوَ نَامَ وَ لَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ وَ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى».

From him, from Al-Hasan, from Zur'ah, from Sama'ah, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a person in a state of janabah who becomes junub again and then wants to sleep. Imam (a.s) said: "If he wishes to perform wudu, then let him do so, and ghusl is better than that. But if he sleeps without performing wudu or ghusl, then there is nothing upon him, if Allah (swt), the Exalted, wills."

Hadith 21

أَحْمَدُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى اَلْكَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ يُجَامِعُهَا اَلرَّجُلُ فَتَحِيضُ وَ هِيَ فِي اَلْمُغْتَسَلِ فَتَغْتَسِلُ أَمْ لاَ قَالَ« قَدْ جَاءَ مَا يُفْسِدُ اَلصَّلاَةَ فَلاَ تَغْتَسِلُ».

Ahmad, from Ali bin Al-Hakam, from Abdullah bin Yahya Al-Kahili, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a woman with whom a man has intercourse, and then she begins menstruating while she is in the place of ghusl. Should she perform ghusl or not? Imam (a.s) said: "That which invalidates the prayer has occurred, so she should not perform ghusl."

Hadith 22

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ:« إِذَا كُنْتَ مَرِيضاً فَأَصَابَتْكَ شَهْوَةٌ فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا كَانَ هُوَ اَلدَّافِقَ لَكِنَّهُ يَجِيءُ مَجِيئاً ضَعِيفاً لَيْسَتْ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ لِمَكَانِ مَرَضِكَ سَاعَةً بَعْدَ سَاعَةٍ قَلِيلاً قَلِيلاً فَاغْتَسِلْ مِنْهُ».

Ali bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad bin Isa, from Hariz, from Zurarah, who said: It was said: "If you are ill and experience desire, it may be that what comes out is seminal fluid, but it comes out weakly due to your illness - little by little, over time. Therefore, perform ghusl because of it."

Hadith 23

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُمَا قَالاَ:« تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِمُدٍّ وَ اِغْتَسَلَ بِصَاعٍ» ثُمَّ قَالَ« اِغْتَسَلَ هُوَ وَ زَوْجَتُهُ بِخَمْسَةِ أَمْدَادٍ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ» قَالَ زُرَارَةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ صَنَعَ هُوَ قَالَ« بَدَأَ هُوَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ بِالْمَاءِ قَبْلَهَا وَ أَنْقَى فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَتْ فَأَنْقَتْ فَرْجَهَا ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ هُوَ وَ أَفَاضَتْ هِيَ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا حَتَّى فَرَغَا فَكَانَ اَلَّذِي اِغْتَسَلَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَمْدَادٍ وَ اَلَّذِي اِغْتَسَلَتْ بِهِ مُدَّيْنِ وَ إِنَّمَا أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُمَا لِأَنَّهُمَا اِشْتَرَكَا جَمِيعاً وَ مَنِ اِنْفَرَدَ بِالْغُسْلِ وَحْدَهُ فَلاَ بُدَّلَهُ مِنْ صَاعٍ».

Al-Husayn bin Sa’eed, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Zurarah, Muhammad bin Muslim, and Abu Basir, from Abu Ja’far and Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: Imam (a.s) said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) performed wudu with a mudd (a small measure) and performed ghusl with a sa' (a larger measure)." Then Imam (a.s) said: "He (saws) and his wife performed ghusl with five mudds from a single container." Zurarah said: “I asked Imam (a.s), how did they do it?” Imam (a.s) said: "He (saws) began by striking his hand with water before her and cleaned his private area, then she struck her hand and cleaned her private area. Then He (saws) poured water over himself, and she poured water over herself until they both finished. The amount with which the Messenger of Allah (swt) (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) performed ghusl was three mudds, and the amount with which she performed ghusl was two mudds. It sufficed for both of them because they shared it together. However, if one performs ghusl alone, then a sa' is necessary."

Hadith 24

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ غُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ، فَقَالَ: تَبْدَأُ فَتَغْسِلُ كَفَّيْكَ، ثُمَّ تُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِكَ عَلَى شِمَالِكَ فَتَغْسِلُ فَرْجَكَ، ثُمَّ تَمَضْمِضُ وَاسْتَنْشِقُ، ثُمَّ تَغْسِلُ جَسَدَكَ مِنْ لَدُنْ قَرْنِكَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْكَ، لَيْسَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ وُضُوءٌ، وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَمَسَّتْهُ الْمَاءُ فَقَدْ أَنْقَيْتَهُ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جُنُبًا ارْتَمَسَ فِي الْمَاءِ ارْتِمَاسَةً وَاحِدَةً أَجْزَأَهُ ذٰلِكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُدَلِّكْ جَسَدَهُ.

Al-Husayn bin Sa’eed, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Umar bin Udhaynah, from Zurarah, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about the ghusl for janabah. Imam (a.s) said: "You begin by washing your hands, then pour water with your right hand over your left hand and wash your private area. Then you rinse your mouth and inhale water into your nose. After that, you wash your body from the top of your head to your feet. There is no wudu before or after it. Everything that the water touches has been purified. And if a person in a state of janabah immerses himself in water with a single immersion, it suffices him, even if he does not rub his body."

Hadith 25

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ نُوحِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« اَلْجُنُبُ وَاَلْحَائِضُ يَفْتَحَانِ اَلْمُصْحَفَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ اَلثَّوْبِ وَيَقْرَآنِ مِنَ اَلْقُرْآنِ مَا شَاءَا إِلاَّ اَلسَّجْدَةَ وَ يَدْخُلاَنِ اَلْمَسْجِدَ مُجْتَازَيْنِ وَ لاَ يَقْعُدَانِ فِيهِ وَ لاَ يَقْرَبَانِ اَلْمَسْجِدَيْنِ اَلْحَرَمَيْنِ».

Muhammad bin Al-Hasan Al-Saffar, from Ibrahim bin Hashim, from Nuh bin Shu'ayb, from Hariz, from Muhammad bin Muslim, who said: Abu Ja'far (a.s) said: "A person in a state of janabah and a menstruating woman may open the Mushaf (copy of the Quran) from behind a cloth and recite from the Quran as much as they wish, except for the verses of prostration. They may pass through the mosque but should not sit in it, and they should not approach the two sacred mosques (Al-Masjid Al-Haram and Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi)."

Hadith 26

سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ اَلصَّرْمِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ اَلْعَطَّارِ وَهُوَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ اَلْعِجْلِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَأْتِي جَارِيَتَهُ فِي اَلْمَاءِ قَالَ« لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ».

Sa'd bin Abdullah, from Al-Husayn bin Bundar Al-Sarmi, who said Ahmad bin Al-Hasan narrated to me, from his father, from Dawood bin Abi Yazid Al-Attar, who is Dawood bin Farqad, from Burayd bin Mu'awiyah Al-'Ijli, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): “Can a man have relations with his slave girl while in water?" Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm in it."

Hadith 27

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْجُنُبِ يَنَامُ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ «يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنَامَ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ وَ يَمُرَّ فِيهِ».

Al-Husayn bin Sa’eed, from Muhammad bin Al-Qasim, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan (a.s) about a person in a state of janabah sleeping in the mosque. Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform wudu, and there is no harm in him sleeping in the mosque or passing through it."

Hadith 28

سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْخَطَّابِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَقْرَأُ فِي اَلْحَمَّامِ وَ يَنْكِحُ فِيهِ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ».

Sa'd bin Abdullah, from Muhammad bin Al-Husayn bin Abi Al-Khattab, from Muhammad bin Isma'il bin Bazi', who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha (a.s): "Can a man recite (Quran) in the bathhouse or have intercourse in the bathhouse?". Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm in it."

Hadith 29

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَقْرَأُ فِي اَلْحَمَّامِ وَ يَنْكِحُ فِيهِ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ».

From him, from Abu Ja'far, from Al-Husayn bin Ali bin Yaqtin, from his brother Al-Hasan, from their father Ali bin Yaqtin, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan Musa (a.s) about a man reciting (Quran) in the bathhouse and having intercourse in the bathhouse. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm in it."

Hadith 30

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُوَاقِعُ أَهْلَهُ أَ يَنَامُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ« إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَتَوَفَّى اَلْأَنْفُسَ فِي مَنَامِهَا وَ لاَ يَدْرِي مَا يَطْرُقُهُ مِنَ اَلْبَلِيَّةِ إِذَا فَرَغَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ» قُلْتُ أَيَأْكُلُ اَلْجُنُبُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ قَالَ« إِنَّا لَنَكْسَلُ وَلَكِنْ لِيَغْسِلْ يَدَهُ وَاَلْوُضُوءُ أَفْضَلُ».

Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Al-Hasan bin Mahbub, from Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Abdullah, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man who has intercourse with his wife - can he sleep in that state? Imam (a.s) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Exalted, takes the souls during their sleep, and one does not know what calamity may befall him. Therefore, when he finishes, let him perform ghusl." I said: "Can a person in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity) eat before performing wudu'?" Imam (a.s) said: "We sometimes feel lazy, but let him wash his hands. However, performing wudu' is better."

Hadith 31

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَحْرٍ عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قِيلَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: الْجُنُبُ يَدَّهِنُ ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا.

Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn bin Sa’eed, from Abdullah bin Bahr, from Hariz bin Abdullah, who said: It was said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): “Can a person in a state of janabah apply oil and then perform ghusl?” Imam (a.s) said: "No."

Commentary 4

قال محمد بن الحسن: هذا الخبر محمول على ضرب من الكراهية بدلالة ما قدمناه من الاخبار.

Muhammad bin Al-Hasan said: “This report is understood to imply a form of dislike (karahah), based on the previously mentioned narrations.”

Hadith 32

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ اَلْهَاشِمِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لِزَوْجِهَا اَلتَّعَرِّي وَ اَلْغُسْلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ خَادِمِهَا قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ مَا أَحَلَّتْ لَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا لَمْ يَتَعَدَّهُ».

Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Ali bin Al-Hakam, from Abdul-Malik bin Utbah Al-Hashimi, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan (a.s) about whether it is permissible for a husband to be unclothed and perform ghusl in the presence of his wife's servant. Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm in what she (the wife) has permitted him of that, as long as he does not exceed the limits (agreed beforehand with the wife)."

Hadith 33

عَنْهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عِيسَى قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْخَادِمِ يَكُونُ لِوَلَدِ اَلرَّجُلِ أَوْ لِوَالِدِهِ أَوْ لِأَهْلِهِ هَلْ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَجَرَّدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا أَمْ لاَ قَالَ« أَمَّا اَلْوَلَدُ فَلاَ أَرَى بِهِ بَأْساً».

From him, from Sa’d bin Isma’il, from his father Isma’il bin Isa, who said: I asked Al-Ridha (a.s) about a servant who belongs to a man's child, or his parent, or his wife - Is it permissible for him to be unclothed in her (servant) presence or not? Imam (a.s) said: "As for the (servant belonging to the) child, I see no harm in it."

Hadith 34

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَدَعُ غُسْلَ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ نَاسِيًا أَوْ غَيْرَ ذٰلِكَ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ نَاسِيًا فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ صَلَاتُهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَالْغُسْلُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ، وَإِنْ هُوَ فَعَلَ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ وَلَا يَعُودْ.

Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa, from Muhammad bin Sahl, from his father, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan (a.s) about a man who leaves the ghusl of Friday, either out of forgetfulness or for some other reason. Imam (a.s) said: "If he forgot, then his prayer is complete. But if he left it intentionally, then ghusl is more beloved to me. And if he did so, let him seek forgiveness from Allah (swt) and not repeat it."

Hadith 35

إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ اَلْأَحْمَرِيُّ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي أَيِّ اَللَّيَالِي أَغْتَسِلُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ« فِي تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَ فِي إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ فِي ثَلاَثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ اَلْغُسْلُ أَوَّلَ اَللَّيْلِ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ نَامَ بَعْدَ اَلْغُسْلِ قَالَ« هُوَ مِثْلُ غُسْلِ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا اِغْتَسَلْتَ بَعْدَ اَلْفَجْرِ أَجْزَأَكَ».

Ibrahim bin Ishaq Al-Ahmari, from a group, from Ibn Faddal, from Abdullah bin Bukayr, from his father Bukayr bin A'yun, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s): “In which nights should I perform ghusl during the month of Ramadan?” Imam (a.s) said: "On the nineteenth, the twenty-first, and the twenty-third (of month of Ramadan), and the ghusl should be at the beginning of the night." I said: “What if someone sleeps after performing ghusl?” Imam (a.s) said: "It is like the ghusl of Friday - if you perform it after Fajr, it suffices you."
