Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 6
وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ غُسْلِ اَلْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَ« تَغْسِلُ يَدَكَ اَلْيُمْنَى مِنَ اَلْمِرْفَقَيْنِ إِلَى أَصَابِعِكَ وَ تَبُولُ إِنْ قَدَرْتَ عَلَى اَلْبَوْلِ ثُمَّ تُدْخِلُ يَدَكَ فِي اَلْإِنَاءِ ثُمَّ اِغْسِلْ مَا أَصَابَكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَفِضْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ وَ جَسَدِكَ وَ لاَ وُضُوءَ فِيهِ».
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 Ahmad ibn Muhammad, who said:
I asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام about the ghusl for janabah (major ritual impurity). Imam عليه السلام said: "You wash your right hand from the elbows to the fingers, and if possible, urinate. Then, insert your hand into the vessel, wash whatever has been affected, pour water over your head and body, and there is no need for wudu after it."
