Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 14
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَخَذَهُ تَقْطِيرٌ مِنْ فَرْجِهِ إِمَّا دَمٌ وَ إِمَّا غَيْرُهُ قَالَ« فَلْيَصْنَعْ خَرِيطَةً وَ لْيَتَوَضَّأْ وَ لْيُصَلِّ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ بَلاَءٌ اُبْتُلِيَ بِهِ فَلاَ يُعِيدَنَّ إِلاَّ مِنَ اَلْحَدَثِ اَلَّذِي يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ».
Narrated by Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Uthman ibn Isa, from Sama’ah:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who experiences discharge from his private part, whether it is blood or something else. Imam عليه السلام said: “Let him make a pouch, perform wudu, and pray. This is only a trial he has been afflicted with, so he should not repeat (his prayer) except due to an event that necessitates wudu (other than this).”
