Chapter on Purifying Clothes and Other Items From Impurities

وَبِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَجْنَبَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ فَيَعْرَقُ فِيهِ قَالَ« لاَ أَرَى فِيهِ بِهِ بَأْساً» قَالَ إِنَّهُ يَعْرَقُ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَوْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَعْصِرَهُ عَصَرَهُ قَالَ فَقَطَّبَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي وَجْهِ اَلرَّجُلِ وَ قَالَ« إِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ فَشَيْءٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَانْضَحْهُ بِهِ».
Through this chain of transmission, from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from several of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from 'Ali ibn Abi Hamzah: He (Narrator) said: "Abu 'Abdillah عليه السلام was asked, and I was present, about a man who becomes junub (ritually impure due to seminal discharge) in his garment and then sweats in it.” Imam عليه السلام said: 'I see no harm in it.'" The man added: "He sweats to the extent that, if he wanted to, he could squeeze it out." Abu 'Abdillah عليه السلام frowned at the man and said: "If you insist, then sprinkle it with some water."
