Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ غُسْلِ اَلْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَ« تَصُبُّ عَلَى يَدَيْكَ اَلْمَاءَ فَتَغْسِلُ كَفَّيْكَ ثُمَّ تُدْخِلُ يَدَكَ فَتَغْسِلُ فَرْجَكَ ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضُ وَ تَسْتَنْشِقُ وَ تَصُبُّ اَلْمَاءَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ تَغْسِلُ وَجْهَكَ وَ تُفِيضُ عَلَى جَسَدِكَ اَلْمَاءَ».
Narrated by al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Hammad, from Shu'ayb, from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the ghusl for janabah (major ritual impurity). Imam عليه السلام said: "You pour water on your hands and wash your palms. Then you insert your hand and wash your private parts. After that, you rinse your mouth (tamadmud) and sniff water into your nose (istinshaq). Then you pour water over your head three times, wash your face, and pour water over your entire body."
