قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَشْتَرِي الْجَارِيَةَ فَرُبَّمَا احْتَبَسَ طَمْثُهَا مِنْ فَسَادِ دَمٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ فِي الرَّحِمِ فَتُسْقَى الدَّوَاءَ لِذَلِكَ فَتَطْمَثُ مِنْ يَوْمِهَا أَ فَيَجُوزُ لِي ذَلِكَ وَ أَنَا لَا أَدْرِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَبَلٍ هُوَ أَوْ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ فَقَالَ لِي لَا تَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا ارْتَفَعَ طَمْثُهَا مِنْهَا شَهْراً وَ لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَبَلٍ إِنَّمَا كَانَ نُطْفَةً كَنُطْفَةِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَعْزِلُ فَقَالَ لِي إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ إِذَا وَقَعَتْ فِي الرَّحِمِ تَصِيرُ إِلَى عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ إِلَى مُضْغَةٍ ثُمَّ إِلَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ إِنَّ النُّطْفَةَ إِذَا وَقَعَتْ فِي غَيْرِ الرَّحِمِ لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَلَا تَسْقِهَا دَوَاءً إِذَا ارْتَفَعَ طَمْثُهَا شَهْراً وَ جَازَ وَقْتُهَا الَّذِي كَانَتْ تَطْمَثُ فِيهِ .
Translation
Ibn Mahboub, from Rafa’at who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I bought the slave girl. So sometimes her menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) gets withheld from the spoilage of the blood, or wind in the womb. So she drinks the medicine for that, and she menstruates from that day. Is that allowed for me and I do not know whether that is from a pregnancy or from something else?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Do not do that’. So I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘But rather, her menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) had been raised from her for months, and had that been from a pregnancy, rather it would have been a seed like the seed of the man who isolates (ejaculates outside)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘The seed, when it falls into the womb, comes to be a cloth, to comes to be a lump, and to whatever Allah<sup>azwj</sup> so Desires; and when the seed falls into other than the womb, nothing is Created from it, therefore do not give her the medicine to drink when her menstruation (<span class="iTxt">Haydh</span>) is raised for months, or it exceeds her time which she was menstruating in previously’.
