Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

Narrated by al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from al-Nadr, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, said: I entered the tent of Abu Abdullah عليه السلام while he was speaking to a woman. I hesitated to approach Imam عليه السلام, so Imam عليه السلام said: "Come closer. This is Umm Isma'il. She has come here, and I claim this is the place where Allah سبحانه وتعالى invalidated her Hajj last year. I had intended to enter into ihram (a state of ritual consecration for Hajj or Umrah), so I said: 'Prepare water for me in the tent.' The bondwomen took the water and placed it there. I took her lightly and had relations with her. Then I told her: 'Wash your head and rub (dry) it thoroughly so your mistress (Umm Isma’il) will not notice it. When you intend to enter into ihram, wash your body but do not wash your head so that your mistress will not suspect anything.' She (bondwomen) entered the tent of her mistress (Umm Isma’il) and, as she reached for something, her mistress touched her head and felt the residue of the water. Her mistress then shaved her head and struck her. Thus, I told her (Umm Isma'il): 'This is the place where Allah سبحانه وتعالى invalidated your Hajj.'"
