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 his father, from Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Abu Al-Qasim and Abu Qatadah, from Ali ibn Ja'far. He also narrated to me from Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali, from Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Al-Amraki ibn Ali Al-Naysaburi, from Ali ibn Ja'far. He further narrated to me from Abu Al-Qasim Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Al-Amraki ibn Ali Al-Naysaburi, from Ali ibn Ja'far, from his brother Imam Musa Al Kadhim عليه السلام. He said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a wet mouse that fell into water and then walked on clothing -is it permissible to pray in that clothing? Imam عليه السلام said: "Wash the areas where you see its traces, and for areas where you do not see traces, sprinkle water on them." And in the narration of Abu Qatadah from Ali ibn Ja'far, the dog is treated in the same manner.
