10ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ كَرِبٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ أَ يَغْسِلُ رِجْلَيْهِ بَعْدَ الْغُسْلِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ فِي مَكَانٍ يَسِيلُ الْمَاءُ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ بَعْدَ الْغُسْلِ فَلاَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لاَ يَغْسِلَهُمَا وَإِنْ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ فِي مَكَانٍ يَسْتَنْقِعُ رِجْلاَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَلْيَغْسِلْهُمَا.

Published English translation

10. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Hammad from Bakr ibn Karib who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who takes Ghusl (bath) because of sexual relation; must he wash his feet after Ghusl (bath)? He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not necessary for him to wash if he stands during taking Ghusl (bath) at such a place where water flows over his feet, but he must wash them if, while taking Ghusl (bath) he stands in a place where his feet are in stagnant water.’”
