Hadith 3023ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدِ الرَّجُلُ طَهُوراً وَكَانَ جُنُباً فَلْيَمْسَحْ مِنَ الأرْضِ وَيُصَلِّي فَإِذَا وَجَدَ مَاءً فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَقَدْ أَجْزَأَتْهُ صَلاَتُهُ الَّتِي صَلَّى.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘If means of cleansing (water for Ghusl (bath)) cannot be found after experiencing sexual relation, one must wipe one’s face with (soil for Tayammum) earth, then perform Salah (prayer). When water is found, Ghusl (bath) must be taken and Salah (prayer) so performed is sufficient.’”
