Hadith #83

وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلْبِيَعِ وَ اَلْكَنَائِسِ وَ بُيُوتِ اَلْمَجُوسِ فَقَالَ« رُشَّ وَ صَلِّ»

And from him, from al-Nadr, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah , peace be upon him, who said: I asked Him about praying in churches (biya’), synagogues (kanaʾis), and Zoroastrian fire temples (buyut al-majus). Imam said: "Sprinkle (them with water), and then pray."
