Hadith.219 - It was said to the Messenger of Allah (sw): 'O’ Messenger of Allah (sw), so-and-so became junub (ritually impure due to sexual discharge) and had smallpox, so they washed him and he died.' Imam (as) said: 'They killed him! Why did they not ask? Why did they not perform tayammum for him? Surely, the cure for ignorance is asking questions.'
219 - وَ قِيلَ لِرَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ إِنَّ فُلاَناً أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ وَ هُوَ مَجْدُورٌ فَغَسَّلُوهُ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ «قَتَلُوهُ أَلاَّ سَأَلُوا أَلاَّ يَمَّمُوهُ إِنَّ شِفَاءَ اَلْعِيِّ اَلسُّؤَالُ.
