سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ تَقْعُدُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ اَلْمَرِيضِ وَ هِيَ حَائِضٌ فِي حَدِّ اَلْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تُمَرِّضَهُ وَإِذَا خَافُوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَرُبَ ذَلِكَ فَلْتُنَحَّى [فَلْتُنَحَّ] عَنْهُ وَ عَنْ قُرْبِهِ فَإِنَّ اَلْمَلاَئِكَةَ تَتَأَذَّى بِذَلِكَ».
Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, who said:
I asked Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام about a woman who sits near the head of a sick person while she is in a state of menstruation, and the person is near death. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm if she nurses (takes care of) him. However, if they fear for him and his time (of death) approaches, she should be moved away from him and from being near him, for the angels are disturbed by that (menstruating women)."
