Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

وَ رَوَى هَذَا اَلْحَدِيثَ اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ فِي كِتَابِ اَلْمَشِيخَةِ بِلَفْظٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: اِغْتَسَلْتُ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ لَبِسْتُ ثِيَابِي وَ تَطَيَّبْتُ فَمَرَّتْ بِي وَصِيفَةٌ فَفَخَّذْتُ لَهَا فَأَمْذَيْتُ أَنَا وَ أَمْنَتْ هِيَ فَدَخَلَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ ضَيْقٌ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ« لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ وُضُوءٌ وَ لاَ عَلَيْهَا غُسْلٌ».
This narration was also reported by al-Hasan ibn Mahbub in the Kitab al-Mashyakha with a different wording, from Umar ibn Yazid, who said: (Narrator said) "I performed ghusl on a Friday in Medina, wore my clothes, and applied perfume. A maidservant passed by me, and I engaged in thigh contact with her (tafakhudh), leading to my ejaculation and her apparent ejaculation. This caused me distress, so I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about it. Imam عليه السلام said: 'You do not need to perform wudu, and she does not need to perform ghusl.'"
