Chapter on Etiquettes of Causes Requiring Purification

وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« جَرَتِ اَلسُّنَّةُ فِي اَلاِسْتِنْجَاءِ بِثَلاَثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ أَبْكَارٍ وَ يُتْبَعَ بِالْمَاءِ».
And through this chain of narration, from some of our companions, who raised it to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: 'It is the established practice in istinja (cleansing) to use three fresh stones, followed by water.'
