Hadith 3636ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَصْرِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الأخِيرَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ ابْنَةَ شِهَابٍ تَقْعُدُ أَيَّامَ أَقْرَائِهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ اغْتَسَلَتْ رَأَتِ الْقَطْرَةَ بَعْدَ الْقَطْرَةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ مُرْهَا فَلْتَقُمْ بِأَصْلِ الْحَائِطِ كَمَا يَقُومُ الْكَلْبُ ثُمَّ تَأْمُرُ امْرَأَةً فَلْتَغْمِزْ بَيْنَ وَرِكَيْهَا غَمْزاً شَدِيداً فَإِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ يَبْقَى فِي الرَّحِمِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الإِرَاقَةُ وَإِنَّهُ سَيَخْرُجُ كُلُّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لاَ تُخْبِرُوهُنَّ بِهَذَا وَشِبْهِهِ وَذَرُوهُنَّ وَعِلَّتَهُنَّ الْقَذِرَةَ قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ الَّذِي قَالَ فَانْقَطَعَ عَنْهَا فَمَا عَادَ إِلَيْهَا الدَّمُ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ.
6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from certain persons of our people from Muhammad ibn Ali al-Basri who said: "I once said to abu al-Hassan al-Akheer (a.s.) that the daughter of Shihaab menstruates for many days, and when she performs ghusl, she sees drops (of blood) after drops." He said, "Order her to stand against the base of the wall as a dog stands, then command a woman to make a strong gesture with her legs spread apart, for indeed it is something that remains in the womb, called 'irāqah. It will all come out." Then he said, "Do not inform them of this and its like, leave them and their filthy impurity." He said, "So I did with the woman what he said, then the bleeding stopped and did not return until she died."
