Chapter on Rules of Janabah and Methods of Purification

مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَجْنَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبُولَ فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ قَالَ« يُعِيدُ اَلْغُسْلَ» قُلْتُ فَالْمَرْأَةُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ بَعْدَ اَلْغُسْلِ قَالَ« لاَ تُعِيدُ» قُلْتُ فَمَا اَلْفَرْقُ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ« لِأَنَّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ اَلْمَرْأَةِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ مَاءِ اَلرَّجُلِ».
Narrated by Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Uthman ibn Isa, from Abdullah ibn Muskan, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who becomes junub and performs ghusl before urinating, and then something comes out of him. Imam عليه السلام said: "He must repeat the ghusl." I asked: "What about a woman if something comes out of her after the ghusl?" Imam عليه السلام said: "She does not need to repeat it." I asked: "What is the difference between them?" Imam عليه السلام said: "What comes out of the woman is from the man's fluid."
