رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَذْيِ فَأَمَرَنِي بِالْوُضُوءِ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَعَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ سَنَةً أُخْرَى فَأَمَرَنِي بِالْوُضُوءِ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ« إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَمَرَ اَلْمِقْدَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ اِسْتَحْيَا أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ فَقَالَ« فِيهِ اَلْوُضُوءُ»» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَتَوَضَّأْ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ».

Translation

Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id narrated, from Muhammad bin Isma‘il, from Abu Al-Hasan (a.s), who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about pre-seminal fluid (madhy), and he instructed me to perform ablution (wudu’) because of it. Then, I asked Imam (a.s) again in another year, and he again instructed me to perform ablution because of it and said: "Indeed, Ali (a.s) instructed Miqdad to ask the Messenger of Allah (swt) (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) because He (a.s) was too shy to ask Him (saws) himself. The Prophet (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) said: 'It requires ablution (wudu’).'" I said: "What if I do not perform ablution?" Imam (a.s) said: "There is no harm in it."
