Chapter on Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquettes, and Recommended Practices

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلاً يَقُولُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي أَدْخُلُ اَلْحَمَّامَ فِي اَلسَّحَرِ وَ فِيهِ اَلْجُنُبُ وَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ فَأَقُومُ فَأَغْتَسِلُ فَيَنْتَضِحُ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ مَا أَفْرُغُ مِنْ مَائِهِمْ قَالَ« أَ لَيْسَ هُوَ جَارٍ» قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ».
Ali bin Mahziyar, from Muhammad bin Isma'il, who said: I heard a man say to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "I enter the bathhouse at dawn, and there are people in a state of janabah and others present. I perform ghusl, but after I finish, some of their water splashes onto me." Imam عليه السلام said: "Is it not flowing water?" I said: "Yes." Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm."
