حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْمَعِيلَ وَهُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ مَعْقِلٍ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةُ إِذَا انْقَضَی حَيْضُهَا اغْتَسَلَتْ کُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَاتَّخَذَتْ صُوفَةً فِيهَا سَمْنٌ أَوْ زَيْتٌ
