حَاضَتْ صَاحِبَتِي وَ أَنَا بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ كَانَ مِيعَادُ جَمَّالِنَا وَ إِبَّانُ مُقَامِنَا وَ خُرُوجِنَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْهُرَ وَ لَمْ تَقْرَبِ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ لَا الْقَبْرَ وَ لَا الْمِنْبَرَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ مُرْهَا فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ وَ لْتَأْتِ مَقَامَ جَبْرَئِيلَ ( عليه السلام ) فَإِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ كَانَ يَجِيءُ فَيَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى حَالٍ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لَهُ قَامَ فِي مَكَانِهِ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ وَ أَيْنَ الْمَكَانُ فَقَالَ حِيَالَ الْمِيزَابِ الَّذِي إِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنَ الْبَابِ الَّذِي يُقَالُ لَهُ بَابُ فَاطِمَةَ بِحِذَاءِ الْقَبْرِ إِذَا رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ بِحِذَاءِ الْمِيزَابِ وَ الْمِيزَابُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِكَ وَ الْبَابُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِكَ وَ تَجْلِسُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ وَ تَجْلِسُ مَعَهَا نِسَاءٌ وَ لْتَدْعُ رَبَّهَا وَ يُؤَمِّنَّ عَلَى دُعَائِهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تَقُولُ قَالَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِكَ شَيْءٌ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ لِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا قَالَ فَصَنَعَتْ صَاحِبَتِيَ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي فَطَهُرَتْ وَ دَخَلَتِ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ وَ كَانَ لَنَا خَادِمٌ أَيْضاً فَحَاضَتْ فَقَالَتْ يَا سَيِّدِي أَ لَا أَذْهَبُ أَنَا زَادَةً فَأَصْنَعُ كَمَا صَنَعَتْ سَيِّدَتِي فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَذَهَبَتْ فَصَنَعَتْ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَتْ مَوْلَاتُهَا فَطَهُرَتْ وَ دَخَلَتِ الْمَسْجِدَ.
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from the one who mentions it, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘My female companion menstruated and I was in Al-Medina, and it was the time for our cameleers and the time of our arising and exiting, before she was pure, and had not gone near the Masjid, nor the grave (of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>) nor the Pulpit. So, we mentioned that to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Instruct her, so let her wash, and go to the place of Jibraeel<sup>as</sup>, for Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> used to come and he<sup>as</sup> would seek permission to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>. And he<sup>saww</sup> was upon a state which was not befitting for him<sup>saww</sup> to grant him<sup>as</sup> permission, he<sup>as</sup> would stand by in his<sup>as</sup> place until he<sup>saww</sup> would come out to him<sup>as</sup>, and if granted him<sup>as</sup> permission, he<sup>as</sup> would go to him<sup>saww</sup>’. So I said, ‘And where is the place?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is by the water sprout which, when you come out from the door which is called the door of (Syeda) Fatima<sup>asws</sup>, parallel to the grave (of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>), when you raise your head parallel to the water sprout, and the water sprout is above your head, and the door is behind your back, and she should sit in that place, and the (other) women would sit with her, and let her supplicate to her Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and they should say ‘Ameen’ upon her supplication’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And which thing should she be saying?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘She should be saying, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I ask You<sup>azwj</sup> by You<sup>azwj</sup> being Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, there not being anything like You<sup>azwj</sup>, that You<sup>azwj</sup> should Do such and such for me’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So my female companions did that which he<sup>asws</sup> had ordered me, and she became pure, and she entered the Masjid. And there was a female servant of ours as well who menstruated. So she said, ‘O my master! Shall I go additionally, so I can do just as my mistress has done?’ So I said, ‘Yes’. So she went and did similar to what her mistress had done, and she (also) entered the Masjid’.
