Chapter on the Rules of Menstruation, Istihadah, and Nifas, and Purification From Them
وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَدْنَى مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ اَلْحَيْضِ فَقَالَ« أَدْنَاهُ ثَلاَثَةٌ وَ أَبْعَدُهُ عَشَرَةٌ».
And through this chain of narration, from Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il, from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Safwan ibn Yahya:
I asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام about the minimum duration of menstruation. Imam عليه السلام said: "Its minimum is three [days], and its maximum is ten."
