وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَسْتَيْقِظُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَلاَ يَسْتَنْجِي وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَالْمُتَعَجِّبِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ سَمَّاهُ« بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ اَلرِّيحُ اِسْتَنْجَى».
Narrated to me by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from his father, from Al-Husayn bin Al-Hasan bin Aban, from Al-Husayn bin Sa'id, from Sulaiman bin Ja'far Al-Ja'fari, who said:
I saw Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام wake up from sleep, perform wudu (ablution), and not perform istinja. Imam عليه السلام, as if astonished about a man he named, said: 'It has reached me that when wind exits from him, he performs istinja?!'
