Original Arabic text

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الدَّمُ يَكُونُ فِي الثَّوْبِ عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ وَعَلَيْكَ ثَوْبٌ غَيْرُهُ فَاطْرَحْهُ وَصَلِّ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ غَيْرُهُ فَامْضِ فِي صَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ إِعَادَةَ عَلَيْكَ مَا لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى مِقْدَارِ الدِّرْهَمِ وَمَا كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ رَأَيْتَهُ قَبْلُ أَوْ لَمْ تَرَهُ وَإِذَا كُنْتَ قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ وَهُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ مِقْدَارِ الدِّرْهَمِ فَضَيَّعْتَ غَسْلَهُ وَصَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ صَلاَةً كَثِيرَةً فَأَعِدْ مَا صَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ.

Published English translation

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once said to him (the Imam), ‘I may find blood on my clothes when I am performing Salah (prayer).’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If you find blood and you have other clothes on you, you must remove it and complete your Salah (prayer). However, if you do not have other clothes on you besides that one, you must complete your Salah (prayer). You do not have to perform that Salah (prayer) again if the area covered by that blood is not more than the size of a dirham, and an area of smaller size does not matter, regardless if you have seen it before or not. If you have seen it before and it is bigger than the size of a dirham, but you have missed to wash it and have performed with it many Salah (prayer), you must perform again the Salah (prayers) you have performed with it.’”
