Chapter on Purifying Clothes and Other Items From Impurities

The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Abu Al-Qasim Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Mu'awiyah ibn Hakim, from Al-Mu'alla Abu Uthman, from Abu Basir. He said: I entered upon Abu Ja'far عليه السلام while he was praying. My companion said to me: "There is blood on his garment." When Imam عليه السلام finished his prayer, I said to Imam عليه السلام: "My companion informed me that there is blood on your garment." Imam عليه السلام said: "I have boils that bleed, and I do not wash my garment until they heal."
