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

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ اَلْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ لَيْثٍ اَلْمُرَادِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلنُّفَسَاءِ كَمْ حَدُّ نِفَاسِهَا حَتَّى يَجِبَ عَلَيْهَا اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ قَالَ« لَيْسَ لَهَا حَدٌّ».
It is narrated from Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad ibn Ubdus, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Al-Mufaddal ibn Salih, from Laith Al-Muradi, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about the duration of nifas (postnatal bleeding), at what point it becomes obligatory for her to pray, and what she should do. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no fixed limit for her."
