وَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَيْضاً جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبْدُونٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ فُضَيْلٍ وَ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ عُمَيْسٍ نُفِسَتْ بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ حِينَ أَرَادَتِ اَلْإِحْرَامَ مِنْ ذِي اَلْحُلَيْفَةِ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ وَ تَحْتَشِيَ بِالْكُرْسُفِ وَ تُهِلَّ بِالْحَجِّ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا وَ نَسَكُوا اَلْمَنَاسِكَ سَأَلَتِ اَلنَّبِيَّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلطَّوَافِ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا« مُنْذُ كَمْ وَلَدْتِ» فَقَالَتْ مُنْذُ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ وَ تَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ تُصَلِّيَ وَ لَمْ يَنْقَطِعْ عَنْهَا اَلدَّمُ فَفَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ».
A group of narrators informed me from Abu Muhammad Harun ibn Musa, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa’id, from Ali ibn Al-Hasan; and Ahmad ibn Ubdun narrated to me from Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Zubair, from Ali ibn Al-Husayn, from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Zurara, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from Umar ibn Udhaynah, from Muhammad, Fudhayl, and Zurara, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: "Asma bint Umays gave birth to Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr and experienced nifas (postnatal bleeding). When she intended to enter ihram at Dhu Al-Hulayfa, the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى instructed her to perform ghusl, use cotton pads to contain the bleeding, and declare her intention for Hajj. When they reached Makkah and completed the rituals, she asked the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم about performing tawaf around the Kaaba and praying. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم asked her: 'How many days have passed since you gave birth?' She (Asma Bint Umays) replied: 'Eighteen days.' The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) instructed her to perform ghusl, perform tawaf around the Kaaba, and pray, even though her bleeding had not yet stopped. She did as she was instructed."
