Chapter on Acts That Necessitate Purification

عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِنَّ اَلشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفُخُ فِي دُبُرِ اَلْإِنْسَانِ حَتَّى يُخَيَّلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ رِيحٌ وَ لاَ يَنْقُضُ وُضُوءَهُ إِلاَّ رِيحٌ يَسْمَعُهَا أَوْ يَجِدُ رِيحَهَا».
Narrated from him, from Fadalah ibn Ayyub, from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, who said that Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, said: Imam عليه السلام said: "Indeed, Satan blows into the anus of a person until it seems to him that wind has exited, but his wudu (ablution) is not invalidated unless he hears the sound of the wind or detects its odor."
