فَأَمَّا اَلْحَدِيثُ اَلَّذِي رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَذْيِ فَأَمَرَنِي بِالْوُضُوءِ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَعَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَنَةٍ أُخْرَى فَأَمَرَنِي بِالْوُضُوءِ مِنْهُ وَ قَالَ« إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ[ عَلِيًّا خ ل] عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَمَرَ اَلْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ اَلْأَسْوَدِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ اِسْتَحْيَا أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ فَقَالَ« فِيهِ اَلْوُضُوءُ»».

Translation

As for the narration reported by Ahmad bin Muhammad bin ‘Isa, from Muhammad bin Isma‘il bin Bazee‘, who said: I asked Al-Ridha (a.s) about pre-seminal fluid (madhy), and Imam (a.s) instructed me to perform ablution (wudu’) because of it. Then, I asked Imam (a.s) again in another year, and Imam (a.s) again instructed me to perform ablution because of it and said: "Indeed, Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s) instructed Miqdad bin Al-Aswad to ask the Prophet (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) because He (a.s) was too shy to ask him himself. The Prophet (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) said, 'It requires ablution (wudu’).'"
