Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 17
وَ سَأَلَ أَبُو اَلْأَعَزِّ اَلنَّخَّاسُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُعَالِجُ اَلدَّوَابَّ فَرُبَّمَا خَرَجْتُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ قَدْ بَالَتْ وَ رَاثَتْ فَتَضْرِبُ إِحْدَاهَا بِيَدِهَا أَوْ بِرِجْلِهَا فَيُنْضَحُ عَلَى ثَوْبِي فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ.
Abu Al-Agharr al-Nakhkhas asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, saying: ‘I tend to the riding animals, and sometimes I go out at night and they have urinated or defecated, so one of them strikes with its leg or hand [1causing it to splash on my clothing.' Imam عليه السلام said: 'There is no harm in it.'
