Chapter on Ritual Washings (Ghusl) and the Method of Performing Ghusl for Janabah (major impurity)
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كُنَّ نِسَاءُ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا اِغْتَسَلْنَ مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ يُبْقِينَ صُفْرَةَ اَلطِّيبِ عَلَى أَجْسَادِهِنَّ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَصْبُبْنَ اَلْمَاءَ صَبّاً عَلَى أَجْسَادِهِنَّ».
Muhammad bin Ali bin Mahbub, from Al-Abbas bin Ma'ruf, from Al-Husayn bin Yazid, from Isma'il bin Abi Ziyad, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq عليه السلام, from his father Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام, from his forefathers عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "The wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, when they performed ghusl (ritual bathing) after janabah (major ritual impurity), would leave traces of the yellow fragrance (sufrah al-tib) on their bodies. This was because the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, ordered them to pour water over their bodies abundantly."
