2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الْجُنُبِ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ وَيَقْرَأُ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ وَيَقْرَأُ وَيَذْكُرُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَا شَاءَ.
2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of one who after sexual relation eats, drinks or reads. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, one can eat, drink, read and speak of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, as much as one likes.’”
