Chapter on Ritual Washings (Ghusl) and the Method of Performing Ghusl for Janabah (major impurity)
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَدَعُ غُسْلَ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ نَاسِيًا أَوْ غَيْرَ ذٰلِكَ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ نَاسِيًا فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ صَلَاتُهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَالْغُسْلُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ، وَإِنْ هُوَ فَعَلَ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ وَلَا يَعُودْ.
Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa, from Muhammad bin Sahl, from his father, who said:
I asked Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام about a man who leaves the ghusl of Friday, either out of forgetfulness or for some other reason. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he forgot, then his prayer is complete. But if he left it intentionally, then ghusl is more beloved to me. And if he did so, let him seek forgiveness from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and not repeat it."
