فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لَيْسَ اَلْمَضْمَضَةُ وَ اَلاِسْتِنْشَاقُ فَرِيضَةً وَ لاَ سُنَّةً إِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَغْسِلَ مَا ظَهَرَ».
As for the report narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from al-Abbas ibn Maʿruf, from al-Qasim ibn ʿUrwah, from Ibn Bukayr, from Zurarah, from Abu Jaʿfar عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "Rinsing the mouth (Madmada) and sniffing water into the nose (Istinshaq) are neither obligatory nor recommended. You are only required to wash what is apparent."
