Hadith 358
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ’Isma‘il ibn Marrar and others from Yunus from those whom he has mentioned, has said the following
“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked about the case of a woman who experiences her blood discharge to have stopped but does not know if she is Hayd-free or not. He (the Imam) said, ’She must stand up with her belly leaned against a wall, place a piece of white cotton in her urethra and raise her right leg. Thereafter she examines the piece of cotton. If there is thick dark color blood, even of the size of the head of a fly, on the tip of the piece of cotton, her Hayd (menses) has not stopped; and if there is no blood on the tip of cotton, she must take Ghusl (bath) and perform Salah (prayer).’”
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
سُئِلَ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهَا الدَّمُ فَلاَ تَدْرِي أَ طَهُرَتْ أَمْ لاَ قَالَ تَقُومُ قَائِماً وَتُلْزِقُ بَطْنَهَا بِحَائِطٍ وَتَسْتَدْخِلُ قُطْنَةً بَيْضَاءَ وَتَرْفَعُ رِجْلَهَا الْيُمْنَى فَإِنْ خَرَجَ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْقُطْنَةِ مِثْلَ رَأْسِ الذُّبَابِ دَمٌ عَبِيطٌ لَمْ تَطْهُرْ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ فَقَدْ طَهُرَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ وَتُصَلِّي.

Hadith 359
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).”’
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.

Hadith 360
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Salmah ibn al-Khattab, from Ali ibn al-Hassan al-Tatariy, from Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah, from ibn Muskan, from Shurahbil al-Kindiy who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about how a woman experiencing Hayd (menses) can find out if her Hayd (menses) has ended. He (the Imam), said, ‘She can find out by leaning against a wall on her left leg and place a piece of cotton in her urethra with her right hand. If there is blood even of the size of fly’s head on the tip of the piece of cotton (it has not ended).”’
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطَّاطَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
قُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ الطَّامِثُ طُهْرَهَا قَالَ تَعْتَمِدُ بِرِجْلِهَا الْيُسْرَى عَلَى الْحَائِطِ وَتَسْتَدْخِلُ الْكُرْسُفَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَإِنْ كَانَ ثَمَّ مِثْلُ رَأْسِ الذُّبَابِ خَرَجَ عَلَى الْكُرْسُفِ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from abu Hamzah who has said the following
“Once it was mentioned before Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), that women, during the night, asked for a lantern to examine if blood discharge has stopped or not; and it was considered laughable. He (the Imam) said, ‘When did women do this?”’ (Meaning the proper test is with a piece of cotton)
4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَنَّهُ
بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ نِسَاءً كَانَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ تَدْعُو بِالْمِصْبَاحِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ تَنْظُرُ إِلَى الطُّهْرِ فَكَانَ يَعِيبُ ذَلِكَ وَيَقُولُ مَتَى كَانَتِ النِّسَاءُ يَصْنَعْنَ هَذَا.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Tha’labah who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), would prohibit women to examine themselves at night during their Hayd (menses), saying that it can be a discharge of a yellowish color fluid or some kind of dirt.’”
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَنَّهُ
كَانَ يَنْهَى النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَنْظُرْنَ إِلَى أَنْفُسِهِنَّ فِي الْمَحِيضِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّهَا قَدْ تَكُونُ الصُّفْرَةَ وَالْكُدْرَةَ.

Hadith 363
6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from certain persons of our people from Muhammad ibn Ali al-Basri who said
"I once said to abu al-Hassan al-Akheer (a.s.) that the daughter of Shihaab menstruates for many days, and when she performs ghusl, she sees drops (of blood) after drops." He said, "Order her to stand against the base of the wall as a dog stands, then command a woman to make a strong gesture with her legs spread apart, for indeed it is something that remains in the womb, called 'irāqah. It will all come out." Then he said, "Do not inform them of this and its like, leave them and their filthy impurity." He said, "So I did with the woman what he said, then the bleeding stopped and did not return until she died."
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَصْرِيِّ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الأخِيرَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ ابْنَةَ شِهَابٍ تَقْعُدُ أَيَّامَ أَقْرَائِهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ اغْتَسَلَتْ رَأَتِ الْقَطْرَةَ بَعْدَ الْقَطْرَةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ مُرْهَا فَلْتَقُمْ بِأَصْلِ الْحَائِطِ كَمَا يَقُومُ الْكَلْبُ ثُمَّ تَأْمُرُ امْرَأَةً فَلْتَغْمِزْ بَيْنَ وَرِكَيْهَا غَمْزاً شَدِيداً فَإِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْ‏ءٌ يَبْقَى فِي الرَّحِمِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الإِرَاقَةُ وَإِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ كُلُّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ تُخْبِرُوهُنَّ بِهَذَا وَشِبْهِهِ وَذَرُوهُنَّ وَعِلَّتَهُنَّ الْقَذِرَةَ قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ الَّذِي قَالَ فَانْقَطَعَ عَنْهَا فَمَا عَادَ إِلَيْهَا الدَّمُ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ.
