Shu'bah said: I asked al-Hakam and Hammad about the amount of blood that makes (a garment) impure. Al-Hakam said: "When it is the size of a dirham." Hammad first said: "When it is the size of a mithqal," then he said: "When it is the size of a dirham."

Asim said: I asked Abu Qilabah: "If I see a bloodstain on my clothes after I have prayed, what should I do?" He said: "Wash it and pray again."
