Chapter on Ritual Washings (Ghusl) and the Method of Performing Ghusl for Janabah (major impurity)
الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ غُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ، فَقَالَ: تَبْدَأُ فَتَغْسِلُ كَفَّيْكَ، ثُمَّ تُفْرِغُ بِيَمِينِكَ عَلَى شِمَالِكَ فَتَغْسِلُ فَرْجَكَ، ثُمَّ تَمَضْمِضُ وَاسْتَنْشِقُ، ثُمَّ تَغْسِلُ جَسَدَكَ مِنْ لَدُنْ قَرْنِكَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْكَ، لَيْسَ قَبْلَهُ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ وُضُوءٌ، وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَمَسَّتْهُ الْمَاءُ فَقَدْ أَنْقَيْتَهُ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جُنُبًا ارْتَمَسَ فِي الْمَاءِ ارْتِمَاسَةً وَاحِدَةً أَجْزَأَهُ ذٰلِكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُدَلِّكْ جَسَدَهُ.
Al-Husayn bin Sa’eed, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Umar bin Udhaynah, from Zurarah, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the ghusl for janabah. Imam عليه السلام said: "You begin by washing your hands, then pour water with your right hand over your left hand and wash your private area. Then you rinse your mouth and inhale water into your nose. After that, you wash your body from the top of your head to your feet. There is no wudu before or after it. Everything that the water touches has been purified. And if a person in a state of janabah immerses himself in water with a single immersion, it suffices him, even if he does not rub his body."
