Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

فَأَمَّا اَلْخَبَرُ اَلَّذِي رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ اَلْيَمَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لَمْ يَرَ بَأْساً أَنْ يَغْسِلَ اَلْجُنُبُ رَأْسَهُ غُدْوَةً وَ يَغْسِلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ عِنْدَ اَلصَّلاَةِ».
As for the narration reported by Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, and from Muhammad ibn Isma'il, from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Ibrahim ibn Umar al-Yamani: Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "Indeed, (Imam) Ali عليه السلام saw no harm if a person in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity) washed his head in the morning and washed the rest of his body at the time of prayer."
