Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

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 Ibn Abi Umayr, from Umar ibn Udhaynah, from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the ghusl for janabah. Imam عليه السلام said: "You begin by washing your hands, then pour water with your right hand onto your left, and wash your private parts and forearms. Then rinse your mouth and nose. Afterward, wash your body from the top of your head to your feet. There is no wudu required before or after this. Everything that comes into contact with water is purified, and even if a man fully immerses himself in water in one single immersion, it suffices for him, even if he does not rub his body."
