Muhammad Ibn Hasan At-Tusi writes:

وأخبرني الشيخ أيده الله قال أخبرني أحمد بن محمد بن الحسن عن أبيه عن محمد بن الحسن الصفار عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى عن أبيه عن ابن أبي عمير عن ابن أذينة عن زيد الشحام قال قلت: لابي عبد الله عليه السلام المذي ينقض الوضوء ؟ قال: لا ولا يغسل منه الثوب ولا الجسد إنما هو بمنزلة البزاق والمخاط وأخبرني الشيخ أيده الله تعالى قال: أخبرني أبو القاسم جعفر بن محمد عن محمد بن يعقوب عن الحسين بن محمد عن معلى بن محمد عن الوشا عن أبان عن عنبسة قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: كان علي عليه السلام لا يرى في المذي وضوءا ولا غسل ما أصاب الثوب منه إلا في الماء الاكبر فاما الحديث الذي رواه أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى عن محمد ابن إسماعيل بن بزيع قال: سألت الرضا عليه السلام عن المذي فأمرني بالوضوء منه، ثم أعدت عليه في سنة أخرى فأمرني بالوضوء منه وقال: ان علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام أمر المقداد بن الاسود أن يسأل النبي صلى الله عليه وآله واستحيا أن يسأله فقال: فيه الوضوء. فهذا خبر ضعيف شاذ والذى يكشف عن ذلك الخبر المتقدم الذي رواه اسحاق ابن عمار عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام وذكر قصة أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام مع المقداد وانه لما سأل النبي صلى الله عليه وآله عن ذلك فقال: لا بأس به، وقد روى هذا الراوي بعينه انه يجوز ترك الوضوء من المذي، فعلم بذلك ان المراد بالخبر ضرب من الاستحباب

“The scholar, May God strengthen him, who reported from Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Hasan, who reported from his father Muhammad Ibn Hasan As-Saffar, who reported from Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Isa, who reported from his father Muhammad Ibn Abi Umair, who reported from Ibn Udhainah, who reported from Zaid Ash-Shahham, in which he asked Abu Abdillah As-Sadiq (a.): “Does the drop of the lust (genital area) break the ablution (Wudu’)?” He said: “No, and therefore one does not wash neither the clothes nor the body. It is only just like the saliva and slime.” The Teacher, May God strengthen him, reported to me from Abu l-Qasim, Ja’far Ibn Muhammad, who reported from Muhammad Ibn Ya’qub, who reported from Husain Ibn Muhammad, who reported from Mu’alla Ibn Muhammad, who reported from Al-Washsha’, who reported from Aban, who reported from Anbasah, that Abu Abdillah As-Sadiq (a.) said: “Neither did Ali (a.) prescribe a washing for the drops of lust nor a washing for that which hit the clothes of it, except for the ejaculation.” As for the tradition reported by Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Isa, in which Muhammad Ibn Isma’il Ibn Bazi’ said: “I asked Ali Ar-Rida (a.) about the drops of lust, whereupon he ordered me to wash it. Afterwards i repeated it to him in another year, whereupon he ordered me to wash it and said: “Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.) ordered Miqdad Ibn Aswad to ask the Prophet (s.) the question and was ashamed to ask him, whereupon he replied: “For this, one does the washing.” So this is a tradition that is weak (Da’if) and not familiar and what this has clearly demonstrated, is the previous tradition, reported by Ishaq Ibn Ammar from Abu Abdillah As-Sadiq (a.), who mentioned the event of the Commander of the Faithful (a.) with Miqdad and after asking the Prophet (s.) he received the answer: “There is no problem in it.” For the very same narrator already reported that it is permissible to leave out the washing for the drops of lust. Thus, one comes to the knowledge that the tradition only means that it is a form of desirability (Mustahab).” [Tadhib-ul-Ahkam, Volume 1 Page 58-59]

Comment:

Al-Hurr Al-Amili confirms [Here!] that “weak” (Da’if) does not mean rejection.

One response to “Weak does not mean unauthentic for At-Tusi”

  1. […] There is no contradiction in the fact that At-Tusi calls him “weak” (Da’if) and “trustworthy” (Thiqah), because he also says “weak” when a narrator gives different answers to the same issue, while still sticking to its tradition and making judgments from it [Here] […]
