Certain Fluid, Which Is Other than Urine and Semen

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘If certain fluids (called al-Madhiy or Wadiy) other than semen and urine come out of your urethra during Salah (prayer), you do not have to wash them or discontinue your Salah (prayer); nor do they invalidate Wudu’ even if such fluids reach up to your backside. It is like nasal mucus. Everything like this that may come out from you after Wudu’ is of secreted lubricants or Hemorrhoids, and they do not matter and it is not necessary to wash unless they are dirty.’”

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub who in a marfu’ has said the following: “On the day of Jamal Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), delivered a speech. He praised and glorified Allah; then said, ‘O people, I came to these people, called them and presented proof in support of my truthfulness. They then called me for a contest. Their mothers will certainly weep for them; I never was and will not feel threatened by war or intimidated by the pounding of swords. No one is able to defeat experience. They should act thunderously with lightening to frighten people other than me. I am abu al-Hassan. I am the one who turned their sharp edge very blunt and dispersed their large united group. With this kind of heart I am ready to face my enemy. I have firm belief in the promise of my Lord of victory, His support and triumph. I have firm belief in my Lord. I have not even a shred of doubt about the truthfulness of my cause. O people, death does not miss people living at home and those who run away cannot defeat it. There is no escape from death. If one does not die he is killed and the best death is being killed. I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, enduring a thousand poundings of the sword is easier for me than dying in bed. It is very strange of Talhah who was very close to the son of ‘Affan, until the time he was killed soon thereafter he extended his right hand to me to pledge allegiance voluntarily; then he disregarded his pledging allegiance with me. O Allah, clinch him without respite. Zubayr also disregarded his pledge of allegiance with me as well as the good relationship that was his obligation to maintain with me as relatives. He supported my enemies, therefore, O Lord, suffice me against him as You deem proper.’”
