Chapter on the Rules of Menstruation, Istihadah, and Nifas, and Purification From Them
مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَدْنَى مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ اَلْحَيْضِ قَالَ« ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَ أَكْثَرُهُ عَشَرَةٌ».
Narrated to me by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Abu al-Qasim Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from a group of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Ashyam, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr:
I asked Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام about the minimum duration of menstruation. Imam عليه السلام said: "Three days, and its maximum is ten."
