2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ امْرَأَةَ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَلَدَتْ فَعَدَّ لَهَا أَيَّامَ حَيْضِهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَهَا فَاغْتَسَلَتْ وَاحْتَشَتْ وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَلْبَسَ ثَوْبَيْنِ نَظِيفَيْنِ وَأَمَرَهَا بِالصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ لاَ تَطِيبُ نَفْسِي أَنْ أَدْخُلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَدَعْنِي أَقُومُ خَارِجاً عَنْهُ وَأَسْجُدُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَقَالَ فَانْقَطَعَ الدَّمُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَرَأَتِ الطُّهْرَ وَأَمَرَ عَلِيٌّ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) بِهَذَا قَبْلَكُمْ فَانْقَطَعَ الدَّمُ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَرَأَتِ الطُّهْرَ فَمَا فَعَلَتْ صَاحِبَتُكُمْ قُلْتُ مَا أَدْرِي.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Abd Allah ibn Bukayr from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ’A‘yan who has said the following: “I once said to him (the Imam) , that the wife of ‘Abd al-Malik gave birth. He instructed her to wait for the number of days of her Hayd (menses), then instructed her to take Ghusl (bath), fill up, wear two clean clothes and perform Salah (prayer). She said, ‘My soul does not feel happy to enter the Masjid; so allow me to stay out of the Masjid and prostrate in it.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The Messenger of Allah had issued such commandments and said, ‘Bleeding stops and she finds cleanliness,’ and Ali , before you had issued such commandments; once bleeding stops the woman finds herself clean. What did the woman (of your companion) do?’ I replied, ‘I do not know.’” (‘Abd al-Malik mentioned is perhaps ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ’A‘yan, according to al-Dhakhirah).
