Narrated by Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan ibn Aban, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from al-Nadr, from Ibn Sinan, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام say: "If a man cannot find water for purification and he is in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), he should wipe (perform tayammum) with the earth and pray. When he finds water, he should perform ghusl, and the prayer he has already prayed suffices him."
