Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 6
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى اَلْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْجُنُبُ يَتَمَضْمَضُ قَالَ« لاَ إِنَّمَا يُجْنِبُ اَلظَّاهِرُ».
Narrated by him, from Abu Yahya al-Wasiti, from some of his companions, who said:
I said to Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "Should a junub (a person in a state of major ritual impurity) rinse his mouth (tamadmud)?" Imam عليه السلام said: "No, only the outer parts of the body are affected by janabah (ritual impurity)."
