Chapter on the Description of Ablution (Wudu)

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ تَمْسَحُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ بِالرَّأْسِ كَمَا يَمْسَحُ اَلرِّجَالُ إِنَّمَا اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَتْ مَسَحَتْ رَأْسَهَا وَ تَضَعُ اَلْخِمَارَ عَنْهَا فَإِذَا كَانَ اَلظُّهْرُ وَ اَلْعَصْرُ وَ اَلْمَغْرِبُ وَ اَلْعِشَاءُ تَمْسَحُ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Abu Ishaq, from Abdullah ibn al-Husayn ibn Zayd ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام, from his father, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "A woman does not wipe her head in the same manner as men do. In the morning (Fajr), she wipes her head and removes her head covering. However, during Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and ʿIshaʾ prayers, she wipes only her forelock (Nasiyah)."
