Original Arabic text

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَتِ الْحَائِضُ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ فَلْتَسْتَدْخِلْ قُطْنَةً فَإِنْ خَرَجَ فِيهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الدَّمِ فَلاَ تَغْتَسِلْ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرَ شَيْئاً فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ وَإِنْ رَأَتْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ صُفْرَةً فَلْتَتَوَضَّأْ وَلْتُصَلِّ.

Published English translation

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has stated this Hadith. Tf a woman wants Ghusl (bath), she should place a piece of cotton in her urethra. If blood is found on it, she cannot take Ghusl (bath); but if blood is not found on it, she must take Ghusl (bath) and if thereafter she finds yellowish discharge she must take Wudu’ to perform Salah (prayer).”’
