Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 14
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ بِي جُرْحاً فِي مَقْعَدَتِي فَأَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ أَسْتَنْجِي ثُمَّ أَجِدُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ اَلنَّدَى وَاَلصُّفْرَةَ تَخْرُجُ مِنَ اَلْمَقْعَدَةِ فَأُعِيدُ اَلْوُضُوءَ قَالَ« أَنْقَيْتَ» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ« لاَ وَ لَكِنْ رُشَّهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَ لاَ تُعِدِ اَلْوُضُوءَ».
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahboub narrated from Ali ibn al-Sindi, from Safwan, who said:
A man asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام while I was present. He said: "I have a wound at my anus (perianal). I perform ablution (wudu) and then clean myself, but afterward, I notice moisture and yellowish discharge coming out of the wound. Should I repeat the ablution?" Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام asked: "Did you clean it properly?" The man replied: "Yes." Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام said: "No, do not repeat the ablution. Simply sprinkle it with water, and you do not need to repeat the ablution."
