Chapter on What is Permissible to Pray in, from Clothing and Place, and What is Not Permissible to Pray in, from That

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: ذَكَرَ اَلْمَنِيَّ فَشَدَّدَهُ وَ جَعَلَهُ أَشَدَّ مِنَ اَلْبَوْلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ« إِنْ رَأَيْتَ اَلْمَنِيَّ قَبْلَ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا تَدْخُلُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَعَلَيْكَ إِعَادَةُ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ إِنْ أَنْتَ نَظَرْتَ فِي ثَوْبِكَ فَلَمْ تُصِبْهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ رَأَيْتَهُ بَعْدُ فَلاَ إِعَادَةَ عَلَيْكَ وَ كَذَلِكَ اَلْبَوْلُ»
And from him, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam عليه السلام mentioned semen (mani) and emphasized its impurity, considering it more severe than urine. Then Imam عليه السلام said: "If you see semen before or after entering the prayer, you must repeat the prayer. But if you looked at your garment and did not see it, and then prayed in it, and later saw it, then there is no need for you to repeat the prayer. And the same applies to urine."
