Hadith 361
۞
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.
