اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ مَسَّ مَيْتَةً أَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْغُسْلُ قَالَ« لاَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ اَلْإِنْسَانِ».
Narrated by Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Safwan, from Al-‘Ala ibn Razin, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the Imams عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked regarding a man who touches a dead animal, is ghusl required for him? Imam عليه السلام said: "No, that (requirement) applies only to (the dead body of) a human being."
