1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَيَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْعِيدَيْنِ وَحِينَ تُحْرِمُ وَحِينَ تَدْخُلُ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةَ وَيَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَيَوْمَ تَزُورُ الْبَيْتَ وَحِينَ تَدْخُلُ الْكَعْبَةَ وَفِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَإِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَثَلاَثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَمَنْ غَسَّلَ مَيِّتاً.

Published English translation

1. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I heard abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), state this Hadith: ‘There is Ghusl (bath) because of sexual relations, there is Ghusl (bath) on Friday, on the two ‘Ids, at the time of assuming the state of ‘Ihram, there is Ghusl (bath) when entering Makkah and al-Madinah. There is Ghusl (bath) on the day of ‘Arafah, (9th of the month of Dhul-Hajjah) on the day of one’s visiting the House (al-Ka‘bah) for entering al-Ka‘bah, in the nineteenth, twenty first, twenty-third nights of the month of Ramadan and for touching a dead body.’”
