Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 12
مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنِ اَلْعَبْدِ اَلصَّالِحِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلَتْهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ لِأَبِيهِ فَقَالَتْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَ أَنَا أَسْتَحِي مِنْهُ فَقَالَ« سَلِينِي وَ لاَ تَسْتَحْيِ» قَالَتْ أَصَابَ ثَوْبِي دَمُ اَلْحَيْضِ فَغَسَلْتُهُ فَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ أَثَرُهُ قَالَ« اِصْبَغِيهِ بِمِشْقٍ حَتَّى يَخْتَلِطَ وَ يَذْهَبَ أَثَرُهُ».
What was narrated to me by the Shaykh from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from his father, from Al-Husayn bin Al-Hasan bin Aban, from Al-Husayn bin Sa'id, from Al-Qasim, from Ali bin Abi Hamzah, from the Righteous Servant عليه السلام of Allah سبحانه وتعالى:
A slave woman of his father عليه السلام asked Imam عليه السلام and said: "May I be sacrificed for you. I want to ask you about something, but I feel shy about it." Imam عليه السلام said: "Ask me, and do not feel shy." She said: "Menstrual blood stained my garment, and I washed it, but its traces did not go away." Imam عليه السلام said: "Dye it with mishq (a type of dye) until it blends in and the trace disappears."
