2-4 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr al-Bazanty, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sama’at, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Miskan, on the authority of Abi Basir al-Moradi: “I asked Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) regarding having phlebotomy performed and any blood that flows out of the body. The Imam (MGB) replied, ‘There is no need to make any ablutions since one must only make ablutions due to what leaves from the two sides by (the mechanisms bestowed to us due to) God’s Blessing.’”The compiler of the book - may God increase his honor - said, “This means defecation, farting, urination, and ejaculation.”
