عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ مَا بَالُ اَلْمَيِّتِ يُمْنِي قَالَ« اَلنُّطْفَةُ اَلَّتِي خُلِقَ مِنْهَا يَرْمِي بِهَا».
Ali ibn Ibrahim narrated from his father, from al-Nawfali, from al-Sakuni, who reported:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام was asked: "What is the reason that a deceased person discharges semen?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is the sperm from which he was created that is expelled."
