وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي اَلَّتِي تَحِيضُ فِي كُلِّ ثَلاَثَةِ أَشْهُرٍ مَرَّةً أَوْ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّةً وَ اَلْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ وَ اَلَّتِي لَمْ تَبْلُغْ وَ اَلَّتِي تَحِيضُ مَرَّةً وَ يَرْتَفِعُ حَيْضُهَا مَرَّةً وَ اَلَّتِي لاَ تَطْمَعُ فِي اَلْوَلَدِ وَ اَلَّتِي قَدِ اِرْتَفَعَ حَيْضُهَا وَ زَعَمَتْ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَيْأَسْ وَ اَلَّتِي تَرَى اَلصُّفْرَةَ مِنْ حَيْضٍ لَيْسَ بِمُسْتَقِيمٍ فَذَكَرَ "أَنَّ عِدَّةَ هَؤُلاَءِ كُلِّهِنَّ ثَلاَثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ".
Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the two Imams (peace be upon them), who said regarding; A woman who menstruates once every three months or once every year, And the mustahadah (a woman with continuous bleeding), And the girl who has not yet reached puberty, And the woman who menstruates once and then her menstruation stops, And the woman who does not expect to bear children, And the woman whose menstruation has ceased but claims she has not despaired, And the woman who sees yellowish discharge from irregular menstruation (Imams (a.s) said) that "the waiting period for all of these women is three months."
