Arabic text

وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَذْيِ فَقَالَ« إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ رَجُلاً مَذَّاءً وَ اِسْتَحْيَا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِمَكَانِ فَاطِمَةَ عَلَيْهَا اَلسَّلاَمُ فَأَمَرَ اَلْمِقْدَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ« لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ»».

Translation

The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah (swt) support him, narrated to me, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Al-Hasan, from his father, from Muhammad bin Al-Hasan Al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin ‘Isa and Al-Husayn bin Al-Hasan bin Aban, both from Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id, from Safwan, from Ishaq bin Ammar, from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about pre-seminal fluid (madhy). Imam (a.s) said: "(Imam) Ali (a.s) was a man who experienced frequent discharge of madhy, and he was shy to ask the Messenger of Allah (swt) (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) about it because of his relationship with (Sayyida) Fatimah (s.a). So, (Imam) Ali (a.s) instructed Miqdad to ask Prophet (saws) while he was sitting (in his presence). Miqdad asked Prophet (saws), and the Prophet (saws) said: 'It is nothing significant.'"
