1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تَكُونُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَتَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا قَدْ حَاضَتْ قَالَ تُدْخِلُ يَدَهَا فَتَمَسُّ الْمَوْضِعَ فَإِنْ رَأَتْ شَيْئاً انْصَرَفَتْ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَرَ شَيْئاً أَتَمَّتْ صَلاَتَهَا.

Published English translation

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ali from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who thinks it is blood discharge during performing Salah (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘She must feel with her hand. If it is blood discharge, she must discontinue, and if she does not find anything, she must complete her Salah (prayer).”’ (The above Hadith is best explained in the form of fatwa.)
