Chapter on the Rules of Menstruation, Istihadah, and Nifas, and Purification From Them

مِثْلِ مَا رَوَاهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْحَائِضِ كَمْ تَسْتَظْهِرُ فَقَالَ« تَسْتَظْهِرُ بِيَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةٍ».
It is narrated from Sa’d ibn Abdullah, from Abu Ja’far, from Ibn Abi Nasr, from Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha عليه السلام: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a menstruating woman, "How many days should she wait as a precautionary measure?" Imam عليه السلام said: "She should wait one, two, or three days as a precaution."
