Chapter on Purifying Clothes and Other Items From Impurities

وَأَخْبَرَنِي الشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانَ عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَمَسُّهُ بَعْضُ أَبْوَالِ الْبَهَائِمِ، أَيَغْسِلُهُ أَمْ لَا؟ قَالَ: يُغْسَلُ بَوْلُ الْحِمَارِ وَالْفَرَسِ وَالْبَغْلِ، فَأَمَّا الشَّاةُ وَكُلُّ مَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِبَوْلِهِ.
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Al-Husayn ibn Al-Hasan ibn Aban, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Fadalah, from Aban ibn Uthman, from Abd Al-Rahman ibn Abi Abdullah. He said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who is touched by the urine of animals. Should he wash it or not? Imam عليه السلام said: "The urine of donkeys, horses, and mules should be washed. As for sheep and all animals whose meat is permissible to eat, there is no harm in their urine."
