Hadith 1

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً عَلَى تَيَمُّمٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَ مَعَهُ قِرْبَتَانِ مِنْ مَاءٍ قَالَ« يَقْطَعُ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَبْنِي عَلَى وَاحِدَةٍ».

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn al-Sindi, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Zurara, from Abu Ja’far (a.s): I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who prayed one rak'ah (unit of prayer) while performing tayammum (dry ablution), then another man arrived carrying two water skins. Imam Abu Ja’far (a.s) said: "He should discontinue his prayer, perform wudu (ablution), and then resume the prayer, continuing from the one rak'ah he already performed."

Commentary 1

قال محمد بن الحسن: الوجه في هذا الخبر ان نحمله على انه إذا صلى ركعة ثم أحدث ما ينقض الوضوء ساهيا فحينئذ يتوضأ ويبني، ولو كان لم يحدث لما وجب عليه الانصراف بل كان عليه أن يمضي في صلاته ولا يمكن أن يقال في هذا الخبر ما قلناه في غيره من انه إنما يجب عليه الانصراف لانه قد دخل في الصلاة قبل آخر الوقت لانه لو كان كذلك لما جاز له البناء وكان عليه الاستيناف فإذا كان كذلك فلا وجه له إلا ما قلناه.

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan commented: “The interpretation of this report is that if he performed one rak'ah and then unintentionally invalidated his wudu, he should perform wudu and continue from where he left off. However, if he had not invalidated his wudu, he would not need to interrupt his prayer but should instead complete it. It cannot be said that this ruling applies because he began his prayer before the end of the prayer's time (thus necessitating a restart). If this were the case, he would need to start the prayer anew rather than building upon the rak'ah already performed. Therefore, the only explanation is the one we have provided.”

Hadith 2

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ وَ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُمَا سَأَلاَهُ عَنْ إِمَامِ قَوْمٍ أَصَابَتْهُ فِي سَفَرٍ جَنَابَةٌ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ مَا يَكْفِيهِ فِي اَلْغُسْلِ أَ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ قَالَ« لاَ وَ لَكِنْ يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ يُصَلِّي فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ اَلتُّرَابَ طَهُوراً كَمَا جَعَلَ اَلْمَاءَ طَهُوراً».

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ya’qub, from Ibn Abi Umair, from Muhammad ibn Humran and Jamil, narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): They both asked Imam (a.s) about an Imam of a group who, while on a journey, experienced janabah (a state of major ritual impurity) and did not have enough water with him for ghusl (ritual purification). Should he perform wudu (ablution) and lead them in prayer? Imam (a.s) said: "No, rather he should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray, for Allah (swt), the Exalted, has made the earth a purifier just as He has made water a purifier."

Hadith 3

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنِ اِبْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَمَّ قَوْماً وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ وَ قَدْ تَيَمَّمَ وَ هُمْ عَلَى طَهُورٍ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ فَإِذَا تَيَمَّمَ اَلرَّجُلُ فَلْيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ فِي آخِرِ وَقْتٍ فَإِنْ فَاتَهُ اَلْمَاءُ فَلَنْ تَفُوتَهُ اَلْأَرْضُ».

From him, from Al-Abbas, from Ibn Al-Mughira, from Abdullah ibn Bukayr, narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): I said to Imam (a.s): "A man led a group in prayer while he was in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity) and had performed tayammum (dry ablution), whereas they were in a state of purity." Imam (a.s) said: "There is no problem. When a man performs tayammum, let it be at the end of the time (for prayer). For if he misses water, he will not miss the earth."

Hadith 4

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْعَلاَءِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُجْنِبُ وَ مَعَهُ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَكْفِيهِ لِوُضُوئِهِ لِلصَّلاَةِ أَ يَتَوَضَّأُ بِالْمَاءِ أَوْ يَتَيَمَّمُ قَالَ« يَتَيَمَّمُ أَ لاَ تَرَى أَنَّهُ جُعِلَ عَلَيْهِ نِصْفُ اَلطَّهُورِ».

From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Husayn, from Al-Qasim, from Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Ala, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man who becomes junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) and has only enough water to perform wudu (ablution) for prayer. Should he perform wudu with the water or perform tayammum (dry ablution)? Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform tayammum. Do you not see that half of the purification has been made obligatory upon him?"

Hadith 5

اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنِ اِبْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ مَاءٌ قَلِيلٌ يَخَافُ إِنْ هُوَ اِغْتَسَلَ أَنْ يَعْطَشَ قَالَ« إِنْ خَافَ عَطَشاً فَلاَ يُهْرِقْ مِنْهُ قَطْرَةً وَ لْيَتَيَمَّمْ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَإِنَّ اَلصَّعِيدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ».

Al-Husayn, from Al-Nadr, from Ibn Sinan, narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): Imam (a.s) was asked about a man who experienced janabah (major ritual impurity) while on a journey and had only a small amount of water, fearing that if he performed ghusl (ritual purification), he would become thirsty. Imam (a.s) said: "If he fears thirst, then he should not spill a single drop of it and should instead perform tayammum (dry ablution) with the earth, for the earth is more beloved to me."

Hadith 6

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا تَيَمَّمَتْ مِنَ اَلْحَيْضِ هَلْ تَحِلُّ لِزَوْجِهَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ».

Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn Khalid, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Amr ibn Sa’id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): I asked Imam (a.s) about a woman who performs tayammum (dry ablution) after her menstruation - does she become permissible for her husband? Imam (a.s) said: "Yes."

Hadith 7

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ مَعَهُ أَهْلُهُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ فَلاَ يَجِدُ اَلْمَاءَ يَأْتِي أَهْلَهُ فَقَالَ« مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ شَبِقاً أَوْ يَخَافَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ».

From him, from Ali ibn Al-Sindi, from Safwan, from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Abu IbraHim (a.s) about a man who is traveling with his wife and does not find water - can he have relations with her? Imam (a.s) said: "I do not like that he does so, unless he is overcome by desire or fears harm for himself."

Hadith 8

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُقِيمُ بِالْبِلاَدِ اَلْأَشْهُرَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَاءٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ اَلْمَرَاعِي وَ صَلاَحِ اَلْإِبِلِ قَالَ« لاَ».

From him, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Safwan, from Al-Ala, from Muhammad, narrated from one of the Imams (a.s): Imam (a.s) was asked about a man (regarding tayammum) who resides in a land for months where there is no water due to the pastures and the well-being of the camels. Imam (a.s) said: "No."

Hadith 9

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ فِي فَلاَةٍ مِنَ اَلْأَرْضِ فَأَجْنَبَ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ ثَوْبٌ فَأَجْنَبَ فِيهِ وَ لَيْسَ يَجِدُ اَلْمَاءَ قَالَ« يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ يُصَلِّي عُرْيَاناً قَائِماً يُومِئُ إِيمَاءً».

From him, from Ahmad, from Al-Husayn, from Al-Hasan, from Zur’ah, from Sama’ah, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who is in a desert and becomes junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) while having only one garment, and he becomes junub in it and does not find water. Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray while naked, standing, and gesturing (for bowing and prostration)."

Hadith 10

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَجْنَبَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ قَدْرَ مَا يَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ قَالَ« يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ لاَ يَتَوَضَّأُ»

Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Fadala, from Al-Ala ibn Razin, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, narrated from one of the Imams (a.s): Imam (a.s) was asked regarding a man who becomes junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) while on a journey and has only enough water for wudu (ablution). Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and not perform wudu."

Hadith 11

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: مِثْلُهُ.

From him, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umair, from Hammad ibn Uthman, from Ubaydullah ibn Ali Al-Halabi, narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): The same has been narrated as (H.1272).

Hadith 12

اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ مَعَهُ اَلْمَاءُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ فَيَخَافُ قِلَّتَهُ قَالَ« يَتَيَمَّمُ بِالصَّعِيدِ وَ يَسْتَبْقِي اَلْمَاءَ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَهُمَا طَهُوراً اَلْمَاءَ وَ اَلصَّعِيدَ».

Al-Husayn, from Al-Hasan, from Zur’ah, from Sama’ah, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man who has water with him while traveling but fears that it may not be enough. Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution) with the earth and preserve the water, for Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has made both water and earth purifiers."

Hadith 13

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ وَ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْجُنُبُ يَكُونُ مَعَهُ اَلْمَاءُ اَلْقَلِيلُ فَإِنْ هُوَ اِغْتَسَلَ بِهِ خَافَ اَلْعَطَشَ أَ يَغْتَسِلُ بِهِ أَوْ يَتَيَمَّمُ قَالَ« بَلْ يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا أَرَادَ اَلْوُضُوءَ».

From him, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Abdullah ibn Muskan, and Fadala, from Al-Husayn ibn Uthman, from Abdullah ibn Muskan, from Muhammad Al-Halabi, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "A junub (one in a state of major ritual impurity) has a small amount of water with him, and if he uses it for ghusl (ritual purification), he fears thirst. Should he perform ghusl with it or perform tayammum (dry ablution)?" Imam (a.s) said: "Rather, he should perform tayammum, and the same applies if he intends to perform wudu (ablution)."

Hadith 14

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِحْتَاجَ إِلَى اَلْوُضُوءِ لِلصَّلاَةِ وَهُوَ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى اَلْمَاءِ فَوَجَدَ قَدْرَ مَا يَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ بِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ هُوَ وَاجِدٌ لَهَا يَشْتَرِي وَ يَتَوَضَّأُ أَوْ يَتَيَمَّمُ قَالَ« لاَ بَلْ يَشْتَرِي قَدْ أَصَابَنِي مِثْلُ هَذَا فَاشْتَرَيْتُ وَ تَوَضَّأْتُ وَ مَا يُشْتَرَى بِذَلِكَ مَالٌ كَثِيرٌ».

Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Barqi, from Sa’d ibn Sa’d, from Safwan, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan (a.s) about a man who needed to perform wudu (ablution) for prayer but could not find water, except for an amount sufficient for wudu, priced at one hundred dirhams or even one thousand dirhams, and he had the means to purchase it. Should he buy it and perform wudu, or should he perform tayammum (dry ablution)? Imam (a.s) said: "No, rather he should buy it. A similar situation happened to me, and I bought it and performed wudu. That amount of money is not considered a great loss."

Hadith 15

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنِ اَلْمُثَنَّى عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّيْقَلِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ تَيَمَّمَ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي فَمَرَّ بِهِ نَهَرٌ وَ قَدْ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً قَالَ« فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَ لْيَسْتَقْبِلِ اَلصَّلاَةَ» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ صَلَّى صَلاَتَهُ كُلَّهَا قَالَ« لاَ يُعِيدُ».

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Musa ibn Sa’dan, from Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Ala, from Al-Muthanna, from Al-Hasan Al-Sayqal, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "A man performed tayammum (dry ablution) and then began his prayer. While he was praying, a river passed by him, and he had already completed one rak’ah." Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform ghusl (ritual purification) and restart the prayer." I said: "What if he had already completed the entire prayer?" Imam (a.s) said: "He does not need to repeat it."

Commentary 2

قال محمد بن الحسن: قد تكلمنا فيما مضى على معنى هذا الخبر، ويحتمل أن يكون الخبر محمولا على ضرب من الاستجاب دون الفرض والايجاب.

Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan commented: “We have previously discussed the meaning of this narration, and it is possible that this report refers to a recommendation rather than an obligation.”

Hadith 16

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ وَ هُوَ بِالْفَلاَةِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَ أَصَابَ ثَوْبَهُ مَنِيٌّ قَالَ« يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ يَطْرَحُ ثَوْبَهُ وَ يَجْلِسُ مُجْتَمِعاً فَيُصَلِّي فَيُومِئُ إِيمَاءً».

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Abd Al-Hamid, from Saif ibn Amira, from Mansur ibn Hazim, who said Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Halabi narrated: Abu Abdullah (a.s) was asked regarding a man who experienced janabah (major ritual impurity) while in the desert and had only one garment, which was stained with semen. Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution), remove his garment, sit closely together (covering himself as much as possible), and pray by gesturing (for bowing and prostration)."

Commentary 3

ولا ينافي هذا الخبر

This narration does not contradict other reports.

Hadith 17

مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَ لاَ تَحِلُّ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِيهِ وَ لَيْسَ يَجِدُ مَاءً يَغْسِلُهُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ« يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا أَصَابَ مَاءً غَسَلَهُ وَ أَعَادَ اَلصَّلاَةَ».

Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Sa’id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): Imam (a.s) was asked about a man who has only one garment, in which prayer is not permissible, and he does not find water to wash it. What should he do? Imam (a.s) said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray. Then, when he finds water, he should wash it and repeat the prayer."

Commentary 4

لان الوجه في هذا الخبر حال الضرورة التي لا يتمكن معها من نزع الثوب من برد أو غيره فحينئذ يصلي فيه ويعيد بعد ذلك الصلاة.

This narration applies to a situation of necessity where he cannot remove the garment due to cold or other reasons. In such cases, he prays in it and later repeats the prayer.

Hadith 18

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِذَا كَانَ اَلرَّجُلُ نَائِماً فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْحَرَامِ أَوْ مَسْجِدِ اَلرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فَاحْتَلَمَ فَأَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ وَ لاَ يَمُرَّ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ إِلاَّ مُتَيَمِّماً وَ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ فِي سَائِرِ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ وَ لاَ يَجْلِسْ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ».

Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Ya’qub ibn Yazid, from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Hamzah, who said: Abu Ja’far (a.s) said: "If a man is sleeping in Al-Masjid Al-Haram or the Mosque of the Messenger (may Allah (swt) bless him and his family) and experiences a wet dream, resulting in janabah (major ritual impurity), he should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and should not pass through the mosque except in a state of tayammum. However, there is no harm in passing through other mosques, but he should not sit in any of the mosques."

Hadith 19

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ مَعَهُ إِنَاءَانِ فِيهِمَا مَاءٌ فَوَقَعَ فِي أَحَدِهِمَا قَذَرٌ وَلاَ يَدْرِي أَيُّهُمَا هُوَ وَلَيْسَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى مَاءٍ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ« يُهَرِيقُهُمَا جَمِيعاً وَ يَتَيَمَّمُ».

From him, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Sa’id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar, narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): Imam (a.s) was asked regarding a man who has two containers of water, and impurity falls into one of them, but he does not know which one it is, and he cannot find any other water. Imam (a.s) said: "He should pour them both out and perform tayammum (dry ablution)."
