مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ لِبَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ« مُرِي نِسَاءَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْ يَسْتَنْجِينَ بِالْمَاءِ وَ يُبَالِغْنَ فَإِنَّهُ مَطْهَرَةٌ لِلْحَوَاشِي وَ مَذْهَبَةٌ لِلْبَوَاسِيرِ»».
What was narrated by Muhammad bin Ali bin Mahbub, from Harun bin Muslim, from Mas'adah bin Ziyad, from Imam Ja’far Al Sadiq عليه السلام, from his father Imam Al Baqir عليه السلام, from his forefathers عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: The Prophet (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family) said to one of his wives: 'Instruct the women of the believers to perform istinja (washing) with water and to be thorough in it, for it purifies the surrounding areas and prevents hemorrhoids.'
