Chapter on the Rules of Menstruation, Istihadah, and Nifas, and Purification From Them
وَ رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَمْ تَقْعُدُ اَلنُّفَسَاءُ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ قَالَ« ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ وَ تَحْتَشِي وَ تُصَلِّي».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Ali ibn Al-Hakam, from Abu Ayyub, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "How long does the woman in a state of nifas (postnatal bleeding) refrain from praying?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Eighteen or seventeen days. Then she performs ghusl, uses a cotton pad, and begins praying."
