1. قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ‌ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ، عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : الْمَاءُ يُطَهِّرُ، وَلَايُطَهَّرُ ».

Chapter 4 – The water well and what falls into it

1. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلى رَجُلٍ أَسْأَلُهُ: أَنْ يَسْأَلَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَاعليه‌السلام عَنِ الْبِئْرِ تَكُونُ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ لِلْوُضُوءِ، فَتَقْطُرُ فِيهَا قَطَرَاتٌ مِنْ بَوْلٍ، أَوْ دَمٍ، أَوْ يَسْقُطُ فِيهَا شَيْ‌ءٌ مِنْ عَذِرَةٍ كَالْبَعْرَةِ وَنَحْوِهَا: مَا الَّذِي يُطَهِّرُهَا حَتّى يَحِلَّ الْوُضُوءُ مِنْهَا لِلصَّلَاةِ؟ فَوَقَّعَعليه‌السلام بِخَطِّهِ فِي كِتَابِي: « تَنْزَحُ مِنْهَا دِلَاءً ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie who said,

‘I wrote to a man requesting him to ask AbuAl-Hassan Al-Reza asws about the well which happens to be in the house for the Ablution (Wudhu) , so the drops of urine fall into it, or blood, or something falls into it from filth like animal dung and such like. What is that which can clean it until the performance of the Ablution (Wudhu) for theSalaat is Permissible from it?’ So heasws wrote by hisasws own handwriting in hisasws letter: ‘Remove some buckets from it’ (then use it).21

2. وَبِهذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، قَالَ: « مَاءُ الْبِئْرِ وَاسِعٌ لَايُفْسِدُهُ شَيْ‌ءٌ، إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَيَّرَ ».

And by this chain,

‘Heasws said: ‘The water of the large well, nothing would pollute it except if it is changed by it (the filth)’.22

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Abu Asama,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the rats, and the cats, and the birds, and the dogs (falling into the well). Heasws said: ‘For as long as they have not decomposed, or the taste of the water has not changed, so (removing) five buckets would suffice you; and if the water has changed, so keep taking out from it until the smell goes away’.23

4. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى رَفَعَهُ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « لَا يُفْسِدُ الْمَاءَ إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ نَفْسٌ سَائِلَةٌ ».

6. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَمَّا يَقَعُ فِي الْآبَارِ؟ فَقَالَ: « أَمَّا الْفَأْرَةُ وَأَشْبَاهُهَا، فَيُنْزَحُ مِنْهَا سَبْعُ دِلَاءٍ، إِلاَّ أَنْ يَتَغَيَّرَ الْمَاءُ فَيُنْزَحُ حَتّى يَطِيبَ، فَإِنْ سَقَطَ فِيهَا كَلْبٌ، فَقَدَرْتَ أَنْ تَنْزَحَ مَاءَهَا فَافْعَلْ؛ وَكُلُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ وَقَعَ فِي الْبِئْرِ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَمٌ مِثْلُ الْعَقْرَبِ وَالْخَنَافِسِ وَأَشْبَاهِ ذلِك، فَلَا بَأْسَ ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ibn Sinan, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about what falls into the wells, so heasws said: ‘As for the rat and it’s like, so withdraw seven buckets from it, except if the water has changed (due to it), so you keep withdrawing until it is clean. So if a dog falls into it, and if you are able to withdraw its water, so do it; and everything which falls into the well, not having blood for it, like the scorpion, and the beetles and the likes of that, so there is no problem’.26

7. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ، عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِذَا سَقَطَ فِي الْبِئْرِ شَيْ‌ءٌ صَغِيرٌ فَمَاتَ فِيهَا، فَانْزَحْ مِنْهَا دِلَاءً؛ وَإِنْ وَقَعَ فِيهَا جُنُبٌ، فَانْزَحْ مِنْهَا سَبْعَ دِلَاءٍ؛ فَإِنْ مَاتَ فِيهَا بَعِيرٌ، أَوْ صُبَّ فِيهَا خَمْرٌ، فَلْيُنْزَحْ ».

Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Ibn Muskaan, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When something small falls into the well and dies in it, so withdraw a bucket from it; and if a sexually impure person were to fall into it, so withdraw seven buckets from it. But if a camel were to die in it, or wine is poured into it, so let it be withdrawn (all of it)’.27

8. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ: عَنْ أَخِيهِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ذَبَحَ شَاةً، فَاضْطَرَبَتْ فَوَقَعَتْ فِي بِئْرِ مَاءٍ وَأَوْدَاجُهَا تَشْخُبُ دَماً، هَلْ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْبِئْرِ؟ قَالَ: « يُنْزَحُ مِنْهَا مَا بَيْنَ الثَّلَاثِينَ إِلَى الْأَرْبَعِينَ دَلْواً، ثُمَّ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهَا، وَلَا‌ بَأْسَ بِهِ ». قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ذَبَحَ دَجَاجَةً، أَوْ حَمَامَةً، فَوَقَعَتْ فِي بِئْرٍ، هَلْ يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يُتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ: « يُنْزَحُ مِنْهَا دِلَاءٌ يَسِيرَةٌ، ثُمَّ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهَا ». وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَسْتَقِي مِنْ بِئْرٍ، فَيَرْعُفُ فِيهَا هَلْ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ: « يُنْزَحُ مِنْهَا دِلَاءٌ يَسِيرَةٌ ».

Can one perform Ablution (Wudhu) from that well?’ Heasws said: ‘Withdraw from it what is between thirty and forty buckets, then he can perform Ablution (Wudhu) from it, and there would be no problem with it’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws about a man who slaughters a chicken, or a dove, so it falls into a well. Is it correct for him to perform Ablution (Wudhu) from it?’ Heasws said: ‘He should withdraw a few buckets from it, then he can perform Ablution (Wudhu) from it’.

Chapter 5 – The well which happens to be to the side of the cesspool

1. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْبَالُوعَةِ تَكُونُ فَوْقَ الْبِئْرِ؟ قَالَ: « إِذَا كَانَتْ فَوْقَ الْبِئْرِ، فَسَبْعَةُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَإِذَا كَانَتْ أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ، فَخَمْسَةُ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ وَذلِكَ كَثِيرٌ ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Hassan Bin Rabaat,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I asked himasws about the gutter which happens to be higher than the well. Heasws said: ‘When it was higher than the well, so there should be seven cubits (distance between the two); and when it was lower than the well, so five cubits from every direction, and that is sufficient’.33

2. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَأَبِي بَصِيرٍ، قَالُوا: قُلْنَا لَهُ: بِئْرٌ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهَا يَجْرِي الْبَوْلُ قَرِيباً مِنْهَا، أَيُنَجِّسُهَا ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: « إِنْ كَانَتِ الْبِئْرُ فِي أَعْلَى الْوَادِي، وَالْوَادِي يَجْرِي فِيهِ الْبَوْلُ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا، وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَدْرُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَذْرُعٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةِ أَذْرُعٍ، لَمْ يُنَجِّسْ ذلِكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ، وَإِنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذلِكَ، يُنَجِّسُهَا؛ وَإِنْ كَانَتِ الْبِئْرُ فِي أَسْفَلِ الْوَادِي، وَيَمُرُّ الْمَاءُ عَلَيْهَا، وَكَانَ‌ بَيْنَ الْبِئْرِ وَبَيْنَهُ تِسْعَةُ أَذْرُعٍ، لَمْ يُنَجِّسْهَا، وَمَا كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذلِكَ، فَلَا يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ ». قَالَ زُرَارَةُ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: فَإِنْ كَانَ مَجْرَى الْبَوْلِ بِلِزْقِهَا، وَكَانَ لَايَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ؟ فَقَالَ: « مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ قَرَارٌ، فَلَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ وَإِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مِنْهُ قَلِيلٌ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَثْقُبُ الْأَرْضَ، وَلَاقَعْرَ لَهُ حَتّى يَبْلُغَ الْبِئْرَ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى الْبِئْرِ مِنْهُ بَأْسٌ، فَيُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ، إِنَّمَا ذلِكَ إِذَا اسْتَنْقَعَ كُلُّهُ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara and Muhammad Bin Muslim and Abu Baseer both said,

‘We said to himasws , ‘A well one performs Ablution (Wudhu) from it, the urine flows close by, would it pollute it?’ So heasws said: ‘If the well was in the upper part of the valley, and the urine flows in the valley underneath it, and there was a distance between the two of a measurement of three cubits or four cubits, nothing of that would pollute it. However, if it were less than that, it would pollute it.

But, if it was so that the well was in the lower part of the valley and the water passes by over it, and there was between the well and it a distance of nine cubits, it would not pollute it, and whatever was less than that, so do not perform Ablution (Wudhu) from it’.

Zurara said, ‘So I said to himasws , ‘Supposing the flow of the urine was with steep declination and it was not stationary upon the ground?’ So, heasws said: ‘As long as there is no stagnation for it, so there is no problem with it; and if a little of it stagnates but it does not permeate the ground and there is no depth to it until it reaches the well, and there is no problem for the well from it, so you can perform Ablution (Wudhu) from it. But rather, that is when all of it stagnates (then Ablution (Wudhu) cannot be performed from it)’.34

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Abu Ismail Al Sarraj Abdullah Bin Usman, from Qudamat Bin Abu Yazeed Al Hammar, from one of our companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I asked himasws , ‘How close by can there happen to be between the water well and the cesspool (drain of dirty water)?’ So heasws said: ‘If it was a plain then seven cubits, and if it was a mountain, so five cubits’.

Then heasws said: ‘The water flows to the direction to the right, and flows from the right direction to the left direction, and flows from the left direction towards the right direction, and cannot flow from the direction to the opposite direction’.35

Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Abbad Bin Suleyman, from Sa’ad Bin Sa’ad, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim,

(It has been narrated) from AbuAl-Hassan asws rega rding the well, ‘There happens five cubits to be between it and the bathroom, or less or more, can Ablution (Wudhu) be performed from it?’ Heasws said: ‘Its abhorrence is not from it be close or far, one can perform Ablution (Wudhu) from it and wash from it for as long as the water is not altered (taste or smell or colour)’. 36

1. بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنِ ابْنِ جُمْهُورٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: قَالَ: « لَا تَغْتَسِلْ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي تَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا غُسَالَةُ الْحَمَّامِ؛ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا غُسَالَةَ وَلَدِ الزِّنى وَهُوَ لَايَطْهُرُ إِلى سَبْعَةِ آبَاءٍ، وَفِيهَا غُسَالَةَ النَّاصِبِ وَهُوَ شَرُّهُمَا؛ إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَخْلُقْ خَلْقاً شَرّاً مِنَ الْكَلْبِ، وَإِنَّ النَّاصِبَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللهِ مِنَ الْكَلْبِ ». قٌلْتُ: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ مَاءِ الْحَمَّامِ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ الْجُنُبُ وَالصَّبِيُّ وَالْيَهُودِيُّ وَالنَّصْرَانِيُّ وَالْمَجُوسِيُّ. فَقَالَ: « إِنَّ مَاءَ الْحَمَّامِ كَمَاءِ النَّهَرِ، يُطَهِّرُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضاً ».

One of our companions, from Ibn Jamhour, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim, from Ibn Abu Yafour,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Do not wash from the well wherein the used water of the bathhouse gathers to, for therein is the washing of the son of adultery (bastard), and he is not clean up to seven fathers (generations); and therein has washed the Hostile One (Nasibi), and he is more evil of the two. Allahazwj did not Create a creature more evil than the dog, and the Hostile One (Nasibi) is lower to Allahazwj than the dog’.

I said, ‘Inform me about the water of the bathhouse. From it washes the one with sexual impurity, and the children, and the Jews, and the Christians, and the Magians’. So heasws said: ‘The water of the bathhouse is like the water of the river. Some of it purifies the other’.64

2. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيى، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « مَاءُ الْحَمَّامِ لَابَأْسَ بِهِ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَهُ مَادَّةٌ ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Mansour Bin Hazim, from Bakr Bin Habeeb,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The water of the bathhouse, there is no problem with it, if there was a source for it (like a fountain)’.65

3. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ حَنَانٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلاً يَقُولُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : إِنِّي أَدْخُلُ الْحَمَّامَ فِي السَّحَرِ وَفِيهِ الْجُنُبُ وَغَيْرُ ذلِكَ، فَأَقُومُ، فَأَغْتَسِلُ، فَيَنْتَضِحُ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ مَا أَفْرُغُ مِنْ مَائِهِمْ؟ قَالَ: « أَلَيْسَ هُوَ جَارٍ؟ » قُلْتُ: بَلى، قَالَ: « لَا بَأْسَ ».

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Hanan who said,

‘I heard a man saying to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘I enter the bathhouse in the morning, and therein is the man with sexual impurity and other than that. So I arise and I wash, so the water from their waters sprinkles upon me after I have finished’. Heasws said: ‘Is it not so that it is flowing (water)?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘There is no problem’.66

4. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْوَاسِطِيِّ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا: عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْمَاضِيعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَنْ مَجْمَعِ الْمَاءِ فِي الْحَمَّامِ مِنْ غُسَالَةِ النَّاسِ يُصِيبُ الثَّوْبَ، قَالَ: « لَا بَأْسَ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Yahya Al Wasity, from one of our companions,

(It has been narrated) from AbuAl-Hassan Al-Maazy asws (7th Imamasws ), said, ‘Heasws was asked about the gathering of the water in the bathhouse, from the bathing of the people, hitting the clothes’. Heasws said: ‘There is no problem’.67

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Hassan Bin Abu Al Husayn Al Farsy, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far, from Ismail Bin Abu Ziyad,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The water which the sun warms up, neither perform Ablution (Wudhu) with it, nor wash with it, nor knead with it, for it inherits the leprosy’. 68

So it was said, ‘And where are the places subject to the condemnation?’ Heasws said: ‘The doors of the houses’.70

Ali Bin Ibrahim, raising it, said,

‘Abu Haneefa exited from the presence of Abu Abdullahasws , and AbuAl-Hassan Musa asws was standing, and heasws was a young boy. So Abu Haneefa said to himasws , ‘O boy! Where can the strangers in yourasws city place (their faeces and urine)?’ So heasws said: ‘They should keep away from the courtyards of theMasjids , and banks of the rivers, and the places where the fruits fall from the trees, and the houses (places) of combat, and he should neither face theQiblah by defecation nor urination, and should raise his clothes, and place it where he so desires to’.73

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Whenever you enter the toilet and fulfil your need, but do not spill the water (upon the pack part), then you perform Ablution (Wudhu) and forget that you should be cleansing yourself, and if you remember after have prayedSalaat, so upon you is the repeating (of theSalaat) ; and if it was so that you did spill the water (upon the back part), but you forgot to wash your manhood, so upon you is the repeating of the Ablution (Wudhu) , and theSalaat, and the washing of your manhood, because the urine is not like the faeces’. 91

Ali, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Shall Iasws imitate for you all an Ablution (Wudhu) of Rasool-Allahsaww ?’ So we said, ‘Yes’. So heasws called for a jug wherein was some water. Then heasws placed it in front of himasws . Then heasws bared hisasws arms. Then heasws immered hisasws right palm into it, then said: ‘This is how, when the palm was clean’.

Then heasws scooped and filled it with water, so heasws placed it upon hisasws forehead, then said: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj ’, and poured it upon the sides of hisasws beard. Then heasws passed hisasws hand upon hisasws face and the apparent of hisasws forehead, once.

Then heasws immersed hisasws left hand and heasws scooped a full palmful with it, then placed it upon hisasws right elbow, and passed hisasws palm upon hisasws forearm until the water flowed upon the sides of hisasws fingers, and wiped the front of hisasws hand, and the back of hisasws face with the remnants of his left, and remnants of hisasws right hand’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Allahazwj is Odd (One) and Loves the odd (numbers), so it would suffice you from the Ablution (Wudhu) , three scoops – one for the face, and two for the two arms, and you should wipe the forehead with the remnant of your right hand, and whatever remains of your right hand, the back of your right foot, and you should wipe the remnant of your left hand, the back of your left foot’.

Zurara said, ‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘A man asked AmirAl-Momineen asws ab out an Ablution (Wudhu) of Rasool-Allahsaww , so heasws imitated it for him similar to that’.122

5. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَبُكَيْرٍ: أَنَّهُمَا سَأَلَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، فَدَعَا بِطَسْتٍ، أَوْ تَوْرٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ، فَغَمَسَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنى، فَغَرَفَ بِهَا غُرْفَةً، فَصَبَّهَا عَلى وَجْهِهِ، فَغَسَلَ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ، ثُمَّ غَمَسَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرى، فَغَرَفَ بِهَا غُرْفَةً، فَأَفْرَغَ عَلى ذِرَاعِهِ الْيُمْنى، فَغَسَلَ بِهَا ذِرَاعَهُ‌ مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ إِلَى الْكَفِّ لَايَرُدُّهَا إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ، ثُمَّ غَمَسَ كَفَّهُ الْيُمْنى، فَأَفْرَغَ بِهَا عَلى ذِرَاعِهِ الْيُسْرى مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ، وَصَنَعَ بِهَا مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ بِالْيُمْنى، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَدَمَيْهِ بِبَلَلِ كَفِّهِ، لَمْ يُحْدِثْ لَهُمَا مَاءً جَدِيداً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: « وَلَايُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ تَحْتَ الشِّرَاكِ ». قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: « إِنَّ اللهَ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ يَقُولُ:( يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ ) فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئاً مِنْ وَجْهِهِ إِلاَّ غَسَلَهُ، وَأَمَرَ بِغَسْلِ الْيَدَيْنِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئاً مِنْ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ إِلاَّ غَسَلَهُ؛ لِأَنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ:( فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرافِقِ ) ثُمَّ قَالَ:( وَامْسَحُوا بِرُؤُسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ) فَإِذَا مَسَحَ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ، أَوْ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ مِنْ قَدَمَيْهِ مَا بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ إِلى أَطْرَافِ الْأَصَابِعِ، فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُ ». قَالَ: فَقُلْنَا: أَيْنَ الْكَعْبَانِ؟ قَالَ: « هَاهُنَا » يَعْنِي الْمَفْصِلَ دُونَ عَظْمِ‌ السَّاقِ، فَقُلْنَا: هذَا مَا هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ: « هذَا مِنْ عَظْمِ السَّاقِ، وَالْكَعْبُ أَسْفَلُ مِنْ ذلِكَ ». فَقُلْنَا: أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ، فَالْغُرْفَةُ الْوَاحِدَةُ تُجْزِئُ لِلْوَجْهِ وَغُرْفَةٌ لِلذِّرَاعِ؟ قَالَ: « نَعَمْ، إِذَا بَالَغْتَ فِيهَا، وَالثِّنْتَانِ تَأْتِيَانِ عَلى ذلِكَ كُلِّهِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara and Bukeyr,

(It has been narrated) both having asked Abu Ja’farasws about the Ablution (Wudhu) of Rasool-Allahsaww . So heasws called for a tray, or bucket wherein was water. So heasws immersed hisasws right hand in it and scooped with it a scoop (of water) and poured it upon hisasws face, and heasws washed hisasws face with it. Then heasws immersed hisasws left palm and scooped with it a scoop (of water) and emptied it upon the right arm, washing hisasws arm from the elbow up to the wrist, nor returning it back to the elbow (one-way motion). Then heasws immersed hisasws right hand and emptied with it upon hisasws left arm from the elbow, and did with it similar to what heasws did with the right hand. Then heasws wiped hisasws heard and hisasws feet with the remnant of (the water in) hisasws plam, nor renewing for these both, the new water’.

Then he (the narrator) said: ‘And heasws did not enter hisasws fingers underneath the slipper-straps. Then heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying [5:6] O you who believe! When you rise up for Prayer, wash your faces and your hands, therefore it is not for him that he should leave anything from his face except that he washes it, and Commanded with the washing of the hands up to the elbow, therefore it is not for him that he leaves anything from his hands up to the two elbows except that he washes it because Allahazwj is Saying [5:6] wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows.

Then Heazwj Said [5:6] and wipe your heads and your feet to the ankles. Thus if he were to wipe with something from his head, or with something from his feet what is between the two ankles up to the sides of the toes, so it would suffice him’.

He (the narrator) said: ‘We said, ‘Where are the two ankles?’ Heasws said: ‘Over here, meaning the joint bellowed the bones of the leg’. So we said, ‘This, what is it (exactly)?’ So heasws said: ‘This is from the bone of the leg, and the ankle is below from that’. So we said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! So the one scoop (of water) would suffice for the face, and a scoop (each) for the arms?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, when you exceed in it, and the two (is the most which would) would both come to be upon that, all of it’.123

6. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ لِلصَّلَاةِ؟ فَقَالَ: « مَرَّةٌ مَرَّةٌ ».

Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, and someone else, from sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Rabaat, from Yunus Bin Ammar who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Ablution (Wudhu) for theSalaat, so heasws said: ‘(Washing the face) once, (washing the hands) once’.124

7. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ؛ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ جَمِيعاً، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « الْوُضُوءُ وَاحِدَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ » وَوَصَفَ الْكَعْبَ فِي ظَهْرِ‌ الْقَدَمِ.

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad and Abu Dawood, altogether from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Ali Bin Al Mugheira, from Maysara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The Ablution (Wudhu) is one (washing), one (washing)’, and heasws described the ankles regarding the back of the feet’.125

8. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيى، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ قَاعِداً عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ، فَمَلَأَ بِهِ كَفَّهُ، فَعَمَّ بِهِ وَجْهَهُ، ثُمَّ مَلَأَ كَفَّهُ، فَعَمَّ بِهِ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنى، ثُمَّ مَلَأَ كَفَّهُ، فَعَمَّ بِهِ الْيُسْرى، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ عَلى رَأْسِهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: « هذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ حَدَثاً » يَعْنِي بِهِ التَّعَدِّيَ فِي الْوُضُوءِ.

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hammad Bin Usman who said,

‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws , so heasws called for the water. Then heasws filled hisasws palm with it and impacted hisasws face with it. Then heasws filled hisasws palm and impacted hisasws right hand with it. Then heasws filled his palm and impacted hisasws left hand with it. Then heasws wiped upon hisasws head and his feet and said: ‘This is an Ablution (Wudhu) of the one who does not have a newly occurring event, meaning by it the transgression regarding the Ablution (Wudhu) ’ (innovation).126

9. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ؛ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ؛ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ؟ فَقَالَ: «مَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ عَلِيٍّعليه‌السلام إِلاَّ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً». ‌

Ali Bin Muhammad and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abdul Kareem who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Ablution (Wudhu) , so heasws said: ‘What was the Ablution (Wudhu) of Aliasws except for one (washing), one (washing)’.

هذَا دَلِيلٌ عَلى أَنَّ الْوُضُوءَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مَرَّةٌ مَرَّةٌ؛ لِأَنَّهُ صلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم كَانَ إِذَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَانِ كِلَاهُمَا لِلّهِ طَاعَةٌ، أَخَذَ بِأَحْوَطِهِمَا، وَأَشَدِّهِمَا عَلى بَدَنِهِ. وَإِنَّ الَّذِي جَاءَ عَنْهُمْ عليهم‌السلام أَنَّهُ قَالَ: « الْوُضُوءُ مَرَّتَانِ » إِنَّهُ هُوَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يُقْنِعْهُ مَرَّةٌ وَاسْتَزَادَهُ، فَقَالَ: « مَرَّتَانِ » ثُمَّ قَالَ: « وَمَنْ زَادَ عَلى مَرَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يُؤْجَرْ ». وَهُوَ أَقْصى غَايَةِ الْحَدِّ فِي الْوُضُوءِ الَّذِي مَنْ تَجَاوَزَهُ أَثِمَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وُضُوءٌ، وَكَانَ كَمَنْ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْسَ رَكَعَاتٍ، وَلَوْ لَمْ يُطْلِقْ عليه‌السلام فِي الْمَرَّتَيْنِ، لَكَانَ سَبِيلُهُمَا‌ سَبِيلَ الثَّلَاثِ

(Al-Kulayni said), ‘This is proof upon (the fact) that the Ablution (Wudhu) , rather, is once, once, because heasws , had two orders to himasws , both of these would be in obedience to Allahazwj , to be on the safe side, and taking to the most difficult one upon his body, and that which has come from themasws is that heasws said: ‘The Ablution (Wudhu) is twice’, is for the one who is not certain of once, and increases it, thus heasws , said: ‘Twice’. Then heasws said: ‘The one who increases upon twice would not be Recompensed’, and this the very maximum limit regarding the Ablution (Wudhu) which, if one were to exceed it, would sin, and an Ablution (Wudhu) would not happen to be for him, and he would be like the one who prays the ZohrSalaat with five Cycles; and had heasws not given the slack regarding the twice, it would have led the way to the three’.

10. وَرُوِيَ فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ مِقْدَارُ كَفٍّ وَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: « يَقْسِمُهُ أَثْلَاثاً: ثُلُثٌ لِلْوَجْهِ، وَثُلُثٌ لِلْيَدِ الْيُمْنى، وَثُلُثٌ لِلْيُسْرى، وَيَمْسَحُ بِالْبِلَّةِ رَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ».

And it is reported regarding a man who had with him water of the measurement of a palmfull, and theSalaat presented itself. So heasws said: ‘(Divide it) into thirds – a third for the face, and a third for the right hand, and a third for the left hand, and he would wipe with the remnant, his head and his feet’. 127

18 - بَابُ حَدِّ الْوَجْهِ الَّذِي يُغْسَلُ وَالذِّرَاعَيْنِ وَكَيْفَ يُغْسَلُ‌

Chapter 18 – Limit of the face which should be washed, and the two arms, and how to wash

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether, fromHammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,

‘I said to himasws , ‘Inform me about the extent of the face which is befitting for one that he washes for the Ablution (Wudhu) which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Speaks of?’ So heasws said: ‘The face which Allahazwj the Exalted Commanded with its washing is that which is not befitting for anyone to increase upon, nor be deficient from it; if he exceeds upon it, he would not be Recompenses, and if he is deficient from it, he would sin, is what the index finder, and the middle finger, and the thumb would circumvent from the front of the head to the chin, and what the two fingers flow upon from the face, encircling, so it is from the face, and whatever is besides that, so it is not from the face’.

I said, ‘The temples (sides of the forehead) is not from the face?’ Heasws said: ‘No’.128

19 - بَابُ مَسْحِ الرَّأْسِ وَالْقَدَمَيْنِ‌

Chapter 19 – Wiping the head and the two feet

1. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ شَاذَانَ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ النَّيْسَابُورِيِّ، عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ عُمَرَ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ مَوْضِعُ ثَلَاثِ أَصَابِعَ، وَكَذلِكَ الرِّجْلُ ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Shazaan Bin Al Khaleel Al Neyshapouri, from Moammar Bin Umar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘It would suffice from the wiping upon the head, a place of three fingers, and similar to that is the leg’.138

2. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « الْأُذُنَانِ لَيْسَا مِنَ الْوَجْهِ، وَلَامِنَ الرَّأْسِ ». قَالَ: وَذُكِرَ الْمَسْحُ، فَقَالَ: « امْسَحْ عَلى مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِكَ، وَامْسَحْ عَلَى الْقَدَمَيْنِ، وَابْدَأْ بِالشِّقِّ الْأَيْمَنِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Ayoub, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The two ears are not from the face, nor from the head’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I mentioned the wiping, so heasws said: ‘Wipe upon the front of your head, and wipe upon the two feet, and begin with the right side’.139

3. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ شَاذَانَ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : رَجُلٌ تَوَضَّأَ وَهُوَ مُعْتَمٌّ، فَثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِ نَزْعُ الْعِمَامَةِ؛ لِمَكَانِ الْبَرْدِ؟ فَقَالَ: « لِيُدْخِلْ إِصْبَعَهُ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Shazaan Bin Al Khaleel, from Yunus, from Hammad, from Al Husayn who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘A man performs Ablution (Wudhu) and he is wearing a turban, so it is heavy upon him that he removes the turban due to the cold’. So heasws said: ‘Let him enter his fingers (under it for the wiping)’.140

4. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ؛ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : أَلَا تُخْبِرُنِي مِنْ أَيْنَ عَلِمْتَ، وَقُلْتَ: « إِنَّ الْمَسْحَ بِبَعْضِ الرَّأْسِ، وَبَعْضِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ؟ ». فَضَحِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: « يَا زُرَارَةُ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، وَنَزَلَ بِهِ الْكِتَابُ مِنَ اللهِ؛ لِأَنَّ اللهَ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ يَقُولُ:( فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ ) فَعَرَفْنَا أَنَّ الْوَجْهَ كُلَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُغْسَلَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ:( وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرافِقِ ) ثُمَّ فَصَّلَ بَيْنَ الْكَلَامِ، فَقَالَ:( وَامْسَحُوا بِرُؤُسِكُمْ ) فَعَرَفْنَا حِينَ قَالَ:( بِرُؤُسِكُمْ ) أَنَّ الْمَسْحَ بِبَعْضِ الرَّأْسِ؛ لِمَكَانِ الْبَاءِ، ثُمَّ وَصَلَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ بِالرَّأْسِ، كَمَا وَصَلَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالْوَجْهِ، فَقَالَ:( وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ) فَعَرَفْنَا حِينَ وَصَلَهَا بِالرَّأْسِ أَنَّ الْمَسْحَ عَلى بَعْضِهَا، ثُمَّ فَسَّرَ ذلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم لِلنَّاسِ، فَضَيَّعُوهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ:( فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا ) ( ماءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيداً طَيِّباً فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْهُ ) فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ الْوُضُوءَ إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا الْمَاءَ، أَثْبَتَ بَعْضَ الْغَسْلِ مَسْحاً؛ لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ:( بِوُجُوهِكُمْ ) ثُمَّ وَصَلَ بِهَا( وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ ) ثُمَّ قَالَ:( مِنْهُ ) أَيْ مِنْ ذلِكَ التَّيَمُّمِ؛ لِأَنَّهُ عَلِمَ أَنَّ ذلِكَ أَجْمَعَ لَمْ يَجْرِ عَلَى الْوَجْهِ؛ لِأَنَّهُ يَعْلَقُ مِنْ ذلِكَ الصَّعِيدِ بِبَعْضِ الْكَفِّ، وَلَايَعْلَقُ بِبَعْضِهَا، ثمَّ قَالَ:( ما يُرِيدُ اللهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ حَرَجٍ ) وَالْحَرَجُ الضِّيقُ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’farasws , ‘Can youasws inform me from where do youasws know and say that the wiping is with part of the head and part of the two legs?’ So heasws smiled and said: ‘O Zurara! Rasool-Allahsaww said so and the Book was Revealed with it from Allahazwj , because Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying [5:6] wash your faces, thus we recognise that the face, all of it, it is befitting that one washes it. Then Heazwj Said and your hands as far as the elbows.

Then Heazwj Detailed between the Speech, so Heazwj Said and wipe your heads. So we recognise where Heazwj Said your heads that the wiping is with part of the head and your feet to the ankles due to the placing of the (letter) ‘Ba’. Then Heazwj Linked the two feet with the head just as Heazwj Linked the two hands with the face, so Heazwj Said and your feet to the ankles. Thus, we recognise where Heazwj Linked it with the heat that the wiping is upon part of it.

Then Rasool-Allahsaww interpreted it for the people, by they wasted it. Then Heazwj Said and if you cannot find water, betake yourselves to pure earth and wipe your faces and your hands from it. So when the Ablution (Wudhu) is place and if you do not find the water, part of the washing is affirmed by the wiping, because Heazwj Said wipe your faces, the Linked with it and your hands. Then Hesaww Said from it, i.e. from thatTayammum, because Heazwj Knew that that is not the entirety of the face because Heazwj Attached the dust from that with part of the palm, and Heazwj did not Attach with part of it. Then Heazwj Said Allah does not desire to put on you any difficulty in the Raligion, and the difficulty, it is the adversity’.141

5. عَلِيٌّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : « الْمَرْأَةُ يُجْزِئُهَا مِنْ مَسْحِ الرَّأْسِ أَنْ تَمْسَحَ مُقَدَّمَهُ قَدْرَ ثَلَاثِ أَصَابِعَ، وَلَاتُلْقِيَ عَنْهَا خِمَارَهَا ».

Ali, from his father, form Hammad, from Hareyz, from zurara who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The woman, it would suffice her from the wiping of the head that she wipes its front by a measurement of three fingers, and she should not cast off her scarf from her’.142

6. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ: عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَاعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْقَدَمَيْنِ: كَيْفَ هُوَ؟ فَوَضَعَ كَفَّهُ عَلَى الْأَصَابِعِ، فَمَسَحَهَا إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ إِلى ظَاهِرِ الْقَدَمِ فَقُلْتُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ: بِإِصْبَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِهِ هكَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: « لَا، إِلاَّ بِكَفِّهِ ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr,

(It has been narrated) from AbuAl-Hassan Al-Reza asws , said, ‘I asked himasws about the wiping upon the two feet, how it is (to be done). So heasws placed hisasws palm upon the toes and wiped these up to the ankles, up to the back of the foot. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! Supposing if a man were to do it with two fingers from his fingers, like this?’ So heasws said: ‘No, except with his palm’.143

7. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ رَأى أَبَا الْحَسَنِعليه‌السلام بِمِنًى يَمْسَحُ ظَهْرَ قَدَمَيْهِ مِنْ أَعْلَى الْقَدَمِ إِلَى الْكَعْبِ، وَمِنَ الْكَعْبِ إِلَى أَعْلَى الْقَدَمِ، وَيَقُولُ: « الْأَمْرُ فِي مَسْحِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ مُوَسَّعٌ، مَنْ شَاءَ مَسَحَ مُقْبِلاً، وَمَنْ شَاءَ مَسَحَ مُدْبِراً؛ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْمُوَسَّعِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ ».

Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus who said,

‘It was informed to me by the one who saw AbuAl-Hassan asws at M ina wiping the back of hisasws feet from the upper part of the foot up to the ankle, and from the ankle up to the upper part of the foot, and heasws was saying: ‘The Command regarding the wiping is the two feet. There is leeway for the one so desires to wipe forwards, and the one who so desires to, backwards, for it is from the Commands of the extensions, Allahazwj Willing’.144

8. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ: « لَوْ أَنَّكَ تَوَضَّأْتَ، فَجَعَلْتَ مَسْحَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ غَسْلاً، ثُمَّ أَضْمَرْتَ أَنَّ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْمُفْتَرَضُ، لَمْ يَكُنْ ذلِكَ بِوُضُوءٍ ». ثُمَّ قَالَ: « ابْدَأْ بِالْمَسْحِ عَلَى الرِّجْلَيْنِ، فَإِنْ بَدَا لَكَ غَسْلٌ، فَغَسَلْتَ، فَامْسَحْ بَعْدَهُ لِيَكُونَ آخِرَ ذلِكَ الْمُفْتَرَضِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from is father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,

‘Heasws said: ‘If you were to perform Ablution (Wudhu) , and make the wiping of the two feet as a washing, then you think that, that is what is necessitated, the would not happen to be an Ablution (Wudhu) ’. Then heasws said: ‘Begin with the wiping upon the two feet, and if it is inevitable for you to wash, so wash, and wipe after it, in order for that to be the last of the necessities’.145

9. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « إِنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَلَى الرَّجُلِ سِتُّونَ وَسَبْعُونَ سَنَةً مَا قَبِلَ اللهُ مِنْهُ صَلَاةً ». قُلْتُ: وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ: « لِأَنَّهُ يَغْسِلُ مَا أَمَرَ اللهُ بِمَسْحِهِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Al Hakam Bin Miskeen, from Muhammad Bin Marwan who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘There comes to be upon the man, sixty or seventy years, Allahazwj not Accepting aSalaat from him’. I said, ‘And how can that be?’ Heasws said: ‘Because he washes what Allahazwj Commanded for the wiping’.146

10. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسىعليه‌السلام : قُلْتُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، يَكُونُ خُفُّ الرَّجُلِ مُخَرَّقاً، فَيُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ، فَيَمْسَحُ ظَهْرَ قَدَمِهِ أَيُجْزِئُهُ‌ ذلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: « نَعَمْ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ali Bin Ismail, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far in Suleyman, from his uncle who said,

12. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى رَفَعَهُ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام فِي الَّذِي يَخْضِبُ رَأْسَهُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ، ثُمَّ يَبْدُو لَهُ فِي الْوُضُوءِ، قَالَ: « لَا يَجُوزُ حَتّى يُصِيبَ بَشَرَةَ رَأْسِهِ بِالْمَاءِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya,

(It has been narrated) raising it from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the one who dyes his head with the henna, then it becomes inevitable for him with regards to the Ablution (Wudhu) . Heasws said: ‘He is not allowed until he pours in the hair of his head with the water’ (attached to his hands). 149

How should I deal with the Ablution (Wudhu) ?’ Heasws said: ‘Recognise this and it’s like from the Book of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [22:78] He has not Laid upon you a hardship in the Religion. Wipe over it’. 155

22 - بَابُ الشَّكِّ فِي الْوُضُوءِ وَ مَنْ نَسِيَهُ أَوْ قَدَّمَ أَوْ أَخَّرَ‌

Chapter 22 – The doubt in the Ablution (Wudhu) and the one who forgets it or brings something forward or delays

1. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « إِذَا اسْتَيْقَنْتَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْدَثْتَ، فَتَوَضَّأْ؛ وَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُحْدِثَ وُضُوءاً أَبَداً حَتّى تَسْتَيْقِنَ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْدَثْتَ ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Abbas Bin Aamir, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from his father who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said to me: ‘When you are certain that you have an occurrence (causing breakage of the Ablution (Wudhu) ), so perform Ablution (Wudhu) , and beware of renewing an Ablution (Wudhu) ever, until you are certain that you do have an occurrence (causing breakage of the Ablution (Wudhu) )’.156

2. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ؛ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِذَا كُنْتَ قَاعِداً عَلى وُضُوءٍ وَلَمْ تَدْرِ أَغَسَلْتَ ذِرَاعَكَ أَمْ لَا، فَأَعِدْ عَلَيْهَا وَعَلى جَمِيعِ مَا شَكَكْتَ فِيهِ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَغْسِلْهُ أَوْ تَمْسَحْهُ مِمَّا سَمَّى اللهُ مَا دُمْتَ فِي حَالِ الْوُضُوءِ، فَإِذَا قُمْتَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ وَفَرَغْتَ، فَقَدْ صِرْتَ فِي حَالٍ أُخْرى فِي صَلَاةٍ أَوْ غَيْرِ صَلَاةٍ، فَشَكَكْتَ فِي بَعْضِ مَا سَمَّى اللهُ مِمَّا أَوْجَبَ اللهُ تَعَالى عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ وُضُوءاً، فَلَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْكَ. وَإِنْ شَكَكْتَ فِي مَسْحِ رَأْسِكَ وَأَصَبْتَ فِي لِحْيَتِكَ بِلَّةً، فَامْسَحْ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَعَلى ظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْكَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تُصِبْ بِلَّةً، فَلَا‌ تَنْقُضِ الْوُضُوءَ بِالشَّكِّ، وَامْضِ فِي صَلَاتِكَ، وَإِنْ تَيَقَّنْتَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تُتِمَّ وُضُوءَكَ، فَأَعِدْ عَلى مَا تَرَكْتَ يَقِيناً حَتّى تَأْتِيَ عَلَى الْوُضُوءِ ». قَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَقَالَ حَرِيزٌ: قَالَ زُرَارَةُ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: رَجُلٌ تَرَكَ بَعْضَ ذِرَاعِهِ، أَوْ بَعْضَ جَسَدِهِ فِي غُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: « إِذَا شَكَّ، ثُمَّ كَانَتْ بِهِ بِلَّةٌ وَهُوَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ، مَسَحَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ اسْتَيْقَنَ، رَجَعَ وَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ مَا لَمْ يُصِبْ بِلَّةً، فَإِنْ دَخَلَهُ الشَّكُّ وَقَدْ دَخَلَ فِي حَالٍ أُخْرى، فَلْيَمْضِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ، وَلَاشَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنِ اسْتَبَانَ، رَجَعَ وَأَعَادَ الْمَاءَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ رَآهُ وَبِهِ بِلَّةٌ، مَسَحَ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعَادَ الصَّلَاةَ بِاسْتِيقَانٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَ شَاكّاً، فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ فِي شَكِّهِ شَيْ‌ءٌ، فَلْيَمْضِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘When you are seated upon an Ablution (Wudhu) and do not know whether you have washed your forearm or not, so repeat upon it, and upon the entirety of whatever you have doubted in. So, that you have not washed it nor wiped it (contrary to) what Allahazwj has Specified, for as long as you are in the state of the Ablution (Wudhu) .

So when you arise from the Ablution (Wudhu) and are free, so you have come to be in another state regardingSalaat or other thanSalaat, and you doubt in part of what Allahazwj has Specified from what Allahazwj the Exalted has Obligated upon you with regards to an Ablution (Wudhu) , so there is nothing upon you.

And if you doubt regarding wiping of your head, and a residue hits your beard, so wipe with it over it, and upon the back of your feet; and if a residue does not hit, so there is not breakage of the Ablution (Wudhu) with the doubt, and go to yourSalaat. And if you are certain that you did not complete your Ablution (Wudhu) , so repeat upon whatever you neglected with a certainty until you come to be upon the Ablution (Wudhu) ’.

Hammad said, and Hareyz said, and Zurara said, ‘I said to himasws , ‘A man neglects part of his forearm, or part of his body in the major Ablution (Wudhu) (for the sexual impurity)’. So heasws said: ‘When he doubts, then he was with residue (of water), and he was in hisSalaat, he should wipe with it upon it; and if it was a certainty, he should return and repeat the water over it for as long as he did not pour a residue. So if the doubt enters, and he has entered to be in another state, so let him continue in hisSalaat, and there is nothing upon him; and if it is apparent, he should return and repeat the water over it; and if he sees it and with him is residue, he should wipe over it and repeat theSalaat, by the certainty; and if it was a doubt, so there is nothing upon him regarding his doubt, so let him continue to hisSalaat’ .157

3. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِنْ ذَكَرْتَ ـ وَأَنْتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ ـ أَنَّكَ قَدْ تَرَكْتَ شَيْئاً‌ مِنْ وُضُوئِكَ الْمَفْرُوضِ عَلَيْكَ، فَانْصَرِفْ، وَأَتِمَّ الَّذِي نَسِيتَهُ مِنْ وُضُوئِكَ، وَأَعِدْ صَلَاتَكَ، وَيَكْفِيكَ مِنْ مَسْحِ رَأْسِكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ مِنْ لِحْيَتِكَ بَلَلَهَا إِذَا نَسِيتَ أَنْ تَمْسَحَ رَأْسَكَ، فَتَمْسَحَ بِهِ مُقَدَّمَ رَأْسِكَ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, form IBn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘If you remember and you are in yourSalaat, that you have neglected something from your Ablution (Wudhu) which was an Obligation upon you, so leave and complete that which you forgot from your Ablution (Wudhu) , and repeat yourSalaat, and it would suffice you from the wiping of your head, if you were to take from your beard its residue, when you forgot to wipe your head, and you can wipe with it, the front of your head’.158

4. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قال: « إِذَا نَسِيَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ يَمِينَهُ، فَغَسَلَ شِمَالَهُ، وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ، وَذَكَرَ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ، غَسَلَ يَمِينَهُ وَشِمَالَهُ، وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ إِنَّمَا نَسِيَ شِمَالَهُ، فَلْيَغْسِلِ الشِّمَالَ، وَلَايُعِيدُ عَلى مَا كَانَ تَوَضَّأَ ». وَقَالَ: « أَتْبِعْ وُضُوءَكَ بَعْضَهُ بَعْضاً ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When the man forgets to wash his right hand and he does wash his left hand, and wipes his head and his feet, and remembers that afterwards, he should wash his right hand and his left hand, and wipe his head and his feet; and if it was so that, rather, he forgot his left hand, so let him wash the left hand (only), and he would not repeat upon what he had washed’. And heasws said: ‘Parts of your Ablution (Wudhu) follow each other’.159

5. عَلِيٌّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ؛ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : « تَابِعْ بَيْنَ الْوُضُوءِ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ابْدَأْ بِالْوَجْهِ، ثُمَّ بِالْيَدَيْنِ، ثُمَّ امْسَحِ الرَّأْسَ وَالرِّجْلَيْنِ، وَلَاتُقَدِّمَنَّ شَيْئاً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ شَيْ‌ءٍ؛ تُخَالِفْ مَا أُمِرْتَ بِهِ، وَإِنْ غَسَلْتَ الذِّرَاعَ قَبْلَ الْوَجْهِ، فَابْدَأْ بِالْوَجْهِ، وَأَعِدْ عَلَى الذِّرَاعِ، وَإِنْ مَسَحْتَ الرِّجْلَ قَبْلَ الرَّأْسِ، فَامْسَحْ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ قَبْلَ الرِّجْلِ، ثُمَّ أَعِدْ عَلَى الرِّجْلِ، ابْدَأْ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللهُ بِهِ ».

Ali, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fal Bin Shazaan, altogether from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws sai: ‘There is a sequence between the Ablution (Wudhu) just as Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said. Begin with the face, then with the two hands, then wipe the head and the two feet, and do not bring forward anything in front which was behind what you have been Commanded with; and if you were to wash the forearms before the face, so begin with the face and repeat upon the forearms; and if the man wipes the legs before the head, so he should wipe upon the head before the legs, then he should repeat upon the legs. Begin with what Allahazwj (has Asked one to) Begin with’.160

6. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ؛ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ جَمِيعاً، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِنْ نَسِيتَ فَغَسَلْتَ ذِرَاعَكَ قَبْلَ وَجْهِكَ، فَأَعِدْ غَسْلَ وَجْهِكَ، ثُمَّ اغْسِلْ ذِرَاعَيْكَ بَعْدَ الْوَجْهِ، فَإِنْ بَدَأْتَ بِذِرَاعِكَ الْأَيْسَرِ قَبْلَ الْأَيْمَنِ، فَأَعِدْ غَسْلَ الْأَيْمَنِ، ثُمَّ اغْسِلِ الْيَسَارَ، وَإِنْ نَسِيتَ مَسْحَ رَأْسِكَ حَتّى تَغْسِلَ رِجْلَيْكَ، فَامْسَحْ رَأْسَكَ، ثُمَّ اغْسِلْ رِجْلَيْكَ ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, and Abu Dawood, altogether from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Al Husayn Bin Usman, from Sama’at, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When you forget and you wash your forearms before your face, so repeat washing of your face, then was your forearms after the face. So if you were to begin with your left forearm before the right, so repeat the washing of your right forearm then wash the left; and if you forget wiping of your head until you wipe your legs, so wipe your forehead, then wipe your legs’.161

7. وَبِهذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتَ بَعْضَ وُضُوئِكَ، فَعَرَضَتْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ حَتّى يَنْشَفَ وَضُوؤُكَ، فَأَعِدْ وُضُوءَكَ؛ فَإِنَّ الْوُضُوءَ لَايَتَبَعَّضُ ».

And by this chain, said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘When you perform part of your Ablution (Wudhu) , so a need arises for you until your Ablution (Wudhu) dries up, so repeat your Ablution (Wudhu) , for the Ablution (Wudhu) cannot be in parts’.162

8. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : رُبَّمَا تَوَضَّأْتُ، فَنَفِدَ الْمَاءُ، فَدَعَوْتُ الْجَارِيَةَ، فَأَبْطَأَتْ عَلَيَّ بِالْمَاءِ، فَيَجِفُّ وَضُوئِي؟ فَقَالَ: « أَعِدْ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al Sandy, from Ja’far Bin Basheer, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘Sometimes I perform Ablution (Wudhu) and the water runs out. So I call the maid, but she is slow coming to me with the water, and my (partly done) Ablution (Wudhu) dries out’. So heasws said: ‘Repeat’.163

9. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ حَكَمِ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ الذِّرَاعَ وَالرَّأْسَ؟ قَالَ: « يُعِيدُ الْوُضُوءَ؛ إِنَّ الْوُضُوءَ يُتْبَعُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضاً ».

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washha, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Hakam Bin Hukeym who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about a man who forgot the forearms and the head from the Ablution (Wudhu) . Heasws said: ‘He should repeat the Ablution (Wudhu) . The Ablution (Wudhu) , parts of it follow its parts (it is sequential)’.164
