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

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَاءِ اَلْحَمَّامِ فَقَالَ اُدْخُلْهُ بِإِزَارٍ وَ لاَ تَغْتَسِلْ مِنْ مَاءٍ آخَرَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ جُنُبٌ أَوْ يَكْثُرَ أَهْلُهُ فَلاَ تَدْرِي فِيهِمْ جُنُبٌ أَمْ لاَ.
As for what was narrated by Al-Husayn bin Sa’eed, from Safwan, from Al-Ala’, from Muhammad bin Muslim, from one of the Imams عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about the water of the bathhouse. Imam عليه السلام said: "Enter it with a waist wrap, and do not use another water for ghusl unless there is someone in a state of janabah in it or if there are too many people, so you do not know whether there is someone in janabah among them or not."
