Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ الشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانَ عَنْ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَجْنَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبُولَ فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ: يُعِيدُ الْغُسْلَ. قُلْتُ: فَالْمَرْأَةُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا بَعْدَ الْغُسْلِ؟ قَالَ: لَا تُعِيدُ الْغُسْلَ. قُلْتُ: فَمَا الْفَرْقُ بَيْنَهُمَا؟ قَالَ: لِأَنَّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَرْأَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ مَاءِ الرَّجُلِ.
Narrated by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan ibn Aban, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Uthman, from Ibn Muskan, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who becomes junub, performs ghusl before urinating, and something comes out of him afterward. Imam عليه السلام said: "He must repeat the ghusl." I asked: "What about a woman if something comes out of her after the ghusl?" Imam عليه السلام said: "She does not need to repeat the ghusl." I asked: "What is the difference between them?" Imam عليه السلام said: "What comes out of the woman is from the man's fluid."
