10. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from a man of banu Hashim who has said the following
“I once entered in dark house where a group of banu Hashim were and I offered them greeting of peace with the phrase of offering greeting. A certain one among them said, ‘Offer greeting of peace to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), he is in the center.’ He (the narrator) has said, ‘I offered him (the Imam) greeting of peace and sat in front of him and said, “Since a long time I loved to visit you to ask about certain things.’” He (the Imam) said, ‘Ask whatever you like.’ I then asked, ‘What do you say about using a bathhouse?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Do not enter a bathhouse without a loincloth, keep your eyes cast down, do not wash with used water because fornicators take a bath with it as well as those bom out of wedlock, and enemies of Ah/ al-Bayt, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, who are the worst of them. 5 ”
أحمد بن محمد، عن علي بن الحكم، عن رجل من بني هاشم قال
دخلت على جماعة من بني هاشم فسلمت عليهم في بيت مظلم فقال بعضهم: سلم على أبي الحسن عليه السلام فإنه في الصدر قال: فسلمت عليه وجلست بين يديه فقلت له: قد أحببت أن ألقاك منذ حين لاسألك عن أشياء فقال: سل ما بدالك قلت: ما تقول في الحمام؟ قال: لا تدخل الحمام إلا بمئزر، وغض بصرك، ولا تغتسل من غسالة ماء الحمام فإنه يغتسل فيه من الزنا ويغتسل فيه ولد الزنا والناصب لنا أهل البيت وهو شرهم(1).
