Chapter on the Rules of Menstruation, Istihadah, and Nifas, and Purification From Them
وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« أَدْنَى اَلْحَيْضِ ثَلاَثَةٌ وَأَقْصَاهُ عَشَرَةٌ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan ibn Aban, from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from al-Nadr, from Ya‘qub ibn Yaqtin:
Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام said: "The minimum duration of menstruation is three [days], and its maximum is ten."
