Arabic text

9ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ بِئْرٌ يُخْرَجُ فِي مَائِهَا قِطَعُ جُلُودٍ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِنَّ الْوَزَغَ رُبَّمَا طَرَحَ جِلْدَهُ وَقَالَ يَكْفِيكَ دَلْوٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ.

Translation

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ’Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from those whom he has mentioned who have said the following: “I once said to abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), that there is a water-well and with its water pieces of skin come out. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not anything. Perhaps a frog sheds its skin.’ He (the Imam) said that one bucket of water is sufficient for you.’”
