Summary:
We clean ourselves with water on regular basis both for comfort and for a healthy life-style – this is from washing hands to taking bath/shower as needed. Acts of worship also require one to be clean (Tahir), i.e., removing filth (whatever makes one najis) by performing the Wuzu, recommended bath and the compulsory bathing. One need to consume minimum quantity of water for both Wuzu and bath – the quantity of water must not exceed above 750ml and 3 litres for Wuzu and bath, respectively. Wuzu and ‘Ghusal e Janabat’ have recommended sequence/order, whereas for other types of baths, to be discussed later, there is no recommended sequence and one is free to wash as per one’s own liking.
For more Ahadith on when and how to perform Wuzu, to take bath, and the limits of these as well as when bathing is Sunnah and where it becomes compulsory, issues for men/women, please read chapters on Taharat (cleansing) in Al-Kafi, vol. 3:Alkafi Volume 3 | (hubeali.com)
Introduction:
Worship is not accepted unless one has the pure intentions, consumes legitimate (Halal) food, cleanse oneself from water (or dust if water is unavailable), wears clean cloths bought/acquired from legitimate resources and has the access to legitimate place of worship. In most acts of worship, Ablution (Wazu) is also mandatory, for Wazu, see for example:
Wazu – How to perform (hubeali.com)
Water is clean unless one finds it dirty:
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْمَاءُ يُطَهِّرُ وَ لَا يُطَهَّرُ .
Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kulayni, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘It was narrated to me by Ali Bin Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, from
Abu Abdullah-asws says that Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The water cleans and cannot (itself) be cleaned (by something else)’.[1]
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ اللُّؤْلُؤِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الْمَاءُ كُلُّهُ طَاهِرٌ حَتَّى يُعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ قَذِرٌ .
Muhammad Bin Yahya, and someone else from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Al Hassan Bin Al Husayn Al Lulu’ie, by his chain, said,
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The water, all of it is (to be considered as) clean, until one knows that it is dirty’.[2]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ أَ طَهُورٌ هُوَ قَالَ نَعَمْ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I asked him-asws about the sea water, ‘Is it clean?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’.[3]
The Quantity of Water which always remains Tahir (pure):
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمَاءِ الَّذِي تَبُولُ فِيهِ الدَّوَابُّ وَ تَلَغُ فِيهِ الْكِلَابُ وَ يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ الْجُنُبُ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ قَدْرَ كُرٍّ لَمْ يُنَجِّسْهُ شَيْءٌ .
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al hakam, from Abu Ayoub Al Khazzaz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the water in which the animals urinate, and in which the dogs lick, and the one with sensual impurity bathes in it. He-asws said: ‘When the water was of the measurement of a Kurr (Three and a half open palm’s width cubed), nothing would pollute it’.[4]
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْكُرُّ مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَلْفٌ وَ مِائَتَا رِطْلٍ .
Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of our companions,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Kurr from the water is of (the weight of) one thousand two hundred Ratls[5] (approximately 480 litres).[6]
The Istibra’a from the urine, and washing it, and the one who cannot find the water
Water must be poured over, from where urine comes out, after urination, unless water is unavailable. For WC manner please see Manners | School of Wilayat
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ رُبَّمَا بُلْتُ وَ لَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيَّ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِذَا بُلْتَ وَ تَمَسَّحْتَ فَامْسَحْ ذَكَرَكَ بِرِيقِكَ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ شَيْئاً فَقُلْ هَذَا مِنْ ذَاكَ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr who said,
‘I heard a man ask Abu Abdullah-asws, so he said, ‘Sometimes I urinate and am not able upon the water, and that is difficult upon me’. So he-asws said: ‘When you have urinated, so wipe your urine outlet with your saliva. So, if you were to find something, so say, ‘It is from that (moisture from veins)’.[7]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ بَالَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ فَقَالَ يَعْصِرُ أَصْلَ ذَكَرِهِ إِلَى طَرَفِهِ ثَلَاثَ عَصَرَاتٍ وَ يَنْتُرُ طَرَفَهُ فَإِنْ خَرَجَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ مِنَ الْحَبَائِلِ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘A man urinates and there does not happen to be water with him’. So, he-asws said: ‘He should squeeze the base of his manhood to its tip, three squeezes, and jerk its tip. So if something were to come out after that, so it would not be from the urine, but it is from the sexual veins’.[8]
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْبَوْلِ يُصِيبُ الْجَسَدَ قَالَ صُبَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ مَرَّتَيْنِ .
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the urine hitting the body. He-asws said: ‘Pour the water upon it, twice’.
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ يُجْزِئُ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ بِمِثْلِهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْحَشَفَةِ وَ غَيْرِهِ وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ مَاءٌ لَيْسَ بِوَسَخٍ فَيَحْتَاجَ أَنْ يُدْلَكَ.
And it is reported that it would suffice him if he were to wash with the likes of it from the water when it was upon the tip of the manhood. And it is reported that it is water and not filth, so it needs to be dropped down.[9]
Always use little water for Wuzu as well as for Bathing:
قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع- لِلْغُسْلِ صَاعٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَ لِلْوُضُوءِ مُدٌّ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَ صَاعُ النَّبِيِّ ص خَمْسَةُ أَمْدَادٍ وَ الْمُدُّ وَزْنُ مِائَتَيْنِ وَ ثَمَانِينَ دِرْهَماً وَ الدِّرْهَمُ سِتَّةُ دَوَانِيقَ وَ الدَّانِقُ وَزْنُ سِتِّ حَبَّاتٍ وَ الْحَبَّةُ وَزْنُ حَبَّتَيْنِ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ مِنْ أَوْسَاطِ الْحَبِّ لَا مِنْ صِغَارِهِ وَ لَا مِنْ كِبَارِهِ.
It is referred from Imam Abul Hassan Musa–asws bin Jafar–asws (our 7th Imam) that one ‘Saha’[10] (3 litres) quantity of water is for Ghusal and one ‘mud’ (which is 750ml) of water is sufficient for performing ablutions and the Saha of the time of Rasool Allah-saww equates to the five mud and each mud would weigh 280 Dirham and each Dirham equates to 6 Dawaniq and each Dawaniq is of six grains of barley – neither too big nor too small but of average size.
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْوُضُوءُ مُدٌّ وَ الْغُسْلُ صَاعٌ وَ سَيَأْتِي أَقْوَامٌ بَعْدِي يَسْتَقِلُّونَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ عَلَى خِلَافِ سُنَّتِي وَ الثَّابِتُ عَلَى سُنَّتِي مَعِي فِي حَظِيرَةِ الْقُدْسِ.
And Rasool Allah-saww, in another Hadith, said, ‘there will be people among my-saww followers, soon after me-saww, who will consider this quantity of water too small and will act against my‑saww practices but those, who will follow to my practices, will be with me in the Paradise.’[11]
وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّ الْوُضُوءَ حَدٌّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ لِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ مَنْ يُطِيعُهُ وَ مَنْ يَعْصِيهِ وَ أَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يُنَجِّسُهُ شَيْءٌ وَ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيهِ مِثْلُ الدَّهْنِ
It is also narrated from the Imam–asws that the method of Ablutions is also tested by Allah–azwj, in order to see who obeys and who chooses not to. And nothing will impure (make Najis) a true believer (Momin), that’s why he or she just needs little amount of water (for Ablutions).[12]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ يَأْخُذُ أَحَدُكُمُ الرَّاحَةَ مِنَ الدُّهْنِ فَيَمْلَأُ بِهَا جَسَدَهُ وَ الْمَاءُ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from;
Abu Ja’far-asws (5th Imam) said: ‘One of you takes the comfort from the oil, so he applies to his body (by massaging), but (consider) the water is more precious than that’. (Meaning – use little water as one applies little oil).[13]
Wuzu -Ablution:
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ بُكَيْرٍ أَنَّهُمَا سَأَلَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَدَعَا بِطَسْتٍ أَوْ تَوْرٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَغَمَسَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فَغَرَفَ بِهَا غُرْفَةً فَصَبَّهَا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَغَسَلَ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ ثُمَّ غَمَسَ كَفَّهُ الْيُسْرَى فَغَرَفَ بِهَا غُرْفَةً فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَ بِهَا ذِرَاعَهُ مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ إِلَى الْكَفِّ لَا يَرُدُّهَا إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثُمَّ غَمَسَ كَفَّهُ الْيُمْنَى فَأَفْرَغَ بِهَا عَلَى ذِرَاعِهِ الْيُسْرَى مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ وَ صَنَعَ بِهَا مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ بِالْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَ قَدَمَيْهِ بِبَلَلِ كَفِّهِ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ لَهُمَا مَاءً جَدِيداً
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara and Bukeyr,
(It has been narrated) both having asked Abu Ja’far–asws about the Wudu of Rasool-Allah–saww. So he–asws called for a tray, or bucket wherein was water. So he–asws immersed his–asws right hand in it and scooped with it a scoop (of water) and poured it upon his–asws face, and he–asws washed his–asws face with it. Then he–asws immersed his–asws left palm and scooped with it a scoop (of water) and emptied it upon the right arm, washing his–asws arm from the elbow up to the wrist, nor returning it back to the elbow (one-way motion). Then he–asws immersed his–asws right hand and emptied with it upon his–asws left arm from the elbow, and did with it similar to what he–asws did with the right hand. Then he–asws wiped his–asws heard and his–asws feet with the remnant of (the water in) his–asws palm, nor renewing for these both, the new water’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ لَا يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ تَحْتَ الشِّرَاكِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئاً مِنْ وَجْهِهِ إِلَّا غَسَلَهُ وَ أَمَرَ بِغَسْلِ الْيَدَيْنِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئاً مِنْ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ إِلَّا غَسَلَهُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرافِقِ
Then he (the narrator) said: ‘And he–asws did not enter his–asws fingers underneath the slipper-straps. Then he–asws said: ‘Allah–azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying O you who believe! When you stand to the Salat, so wash your faces and your hands [5:6], therefore it is not for him that he should leave anything from his face except that he washes it, and Commanded with the washing of the hands up to the elbow, therefore it is not for him that he leaves anything from his hands up to the two elbows except that he washes it because Allah–azwj is Saying so wash your faces and your hands to the elbows [5:6].
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ امْسَحُوا بِرُؤُسِكُمْ وَ أَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ فَإِذَا مَسَحَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ أَوْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ قَدَمَيْهِ مَا بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ إِلَى أَطْرَافِ الْأَصَابِعِ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُ
Then He–azwj Said and wipe your heads and your leg to the ankles [5:6]. Thus, if he were to wipe with something from his head, or with something from his feet what is between the two ankles up to the sides of the toes, so it would suffice him’.
قَالَ فَقُلْنَا أَيْنَ الْكَعْبَانِ قَالَ هَاهُنَا يَعْنِي الْمَفْصِلَ دُونَ عَظْمِ السَّاقِ فَقُلْنَا هَذَا مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ هَذَا مِنْ عَظْمِ السَّاقِ وَ الْكَعْبُ أَسْفَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْنَا أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ فَالْغُرْفَةُ الْوَاحِدَةُ تُجْزِئُ لِلْوَجْهِ وَ غُرْفَةٌ لِلذِّرَاعِ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا بَالَغْتَ فِيهَا وَ الثِّنْتَانِ تَأْتِيَانِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ .
He (the narrator) said: ‘We said, ‘Where are the two ankles?’ He–asws said: ‘Over here, meaning the joint bellowed the bones of the leg’. So we said, ‘This, what is it (exactly)?’ So he–asws said: ‘This is from the bone of the leg, and the ankle is below from that’. So, we said, ‘May Allah–azwj Keep you–asws well! So, the one scoop (of water) would suffice for the face, and a scoop (each) for the arms?’ He–asws said: ‘Yes, when you exceed in it, and the two (is the most which would) would both come to be upon that, all of it’.[14]
Rinsing of the mouth and the sniffing are not from Wazu, see Appendix I.
Earth cleans – when treading upon the filth (i.e., faeces/urine)
The Ahadith below are of particular importance, as those believers who walk to the holy shrines without shoes, out of respect, are usually targeted by some onlookers who think that their feet have become unclean (Najis) by walking on the road and they will take the dirt and filth to the holy shrine – which is not the case as earth cleanse whatever touches its surface. And it is recommended in Ahadith to walk bare-foot towards the holy shrine out of respect and being a humble salve (see some examples in Appendix II).
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَطَأُ عَلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِنَظِيفٍ ثُمَّ يَطَأُ بَعْدَهُ مَكَاناً نَظِيفاً قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِذَا كَانَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ ذِرَاعاً أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ .
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Al Ahowl,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said regarding the man who trod upon the place which was not with cleanliness, then he trod after it in a clean place, he-asws said: ‘There is no problem when it was fifteen cubits[15] away or approximate to that (i.e., about 8 meters’ walking would purify it)’.[16]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِذْ مَرَّ عَلَى عَذِرَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ فَوَطِئَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَصَابَتْ ثَوْبَهُ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَدْ وَطِئْتَ عَلَى عَذِرَةٍ فَأَصَابَتْ ثَوْبَكَ فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ هِيَ يَابِسَةً فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطَهِّرُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘I was with Abu Ja’far-asws when he-asws passed upon a dry excrement, so he-asws trod upon it, and it hit his-asws cloth. So, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! You have trod upon a filth and it hit your-asws clothes’. So, he-asws said: ‘Was it not dry?’ So I said, ‘Yes’. So, he-asws said: ‘There is no problem. Part of the ground (soil) cleans part of it’.[17]
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ نَزَلْنَا فِي مَكَانٍ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ زُقَاقٌ قَذَرٌ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ أَيْنَ نَزَلْتُمْ فَقُلْتُ نَزَلْنَا فِي دَارِ فُلَانٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ زُقَاقاً قَذَراً أَوْ قُلْنَا لَهُ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ زُقَاقاً قَذَراً فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ الْأَرْضُ تُطَهِّرُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً قُلْتُ وَ السِّرْقِينُ الرَّطْبُ أَطَأُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ مِثْلُهُ .
Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, from Muhammad Al Halby who said,
‘We lodged in a place and between us and the Masjid was a dirty alleyway. So, I went over to Abu Abdullah-asws, and he-asws said: ‘Where are you encamped?’ Then, I said, ‘We are lodged in the house of so and so’. So, he-asws said: ‘Between you and the Masjid there is a dirty alleyway’, or we said to him-asws, ‘Between us and the Masjid is a dirty alleyway’. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem. The earth (soil), parts of it purify the (other) parts’. I said, ‘And (what about) the wet manure I tread upon?’ So, he-asws said: ‘The likes of that does not harm you’.[18]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَطَأُ فِي الْعَذِرَةِ أَوِ الْبَوْلِ أَ يُعِيدُ الْوُضُوءَ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يَغْسِلُ مَا أَصَابَهُ .
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ibn Muskan, from Al Halby,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the man who treads upon the excrement, or the urine, should he be repeating the Ablution (Wazu)?’ He-asws said: ‘No, but he should wash whatever it hit’.
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى إِذَا كَانَ جَافّاً فَلَا يَغْسِلُهُ .
And in another report, ‘(He-asws said): ‘When it was dehydrated, so he may not wash it’.[19]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْخِنْزِيرِ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَيَمُرُّ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَيَسِيلُ مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ أَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ حَافِياً فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ وَرَاءَهُ شَيْءٌ جَافٌّ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَلَا بَأْسَ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تُطَهِّرُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Al Moalla Bin Khunay who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the pig coming out from the water, so it passes upon the road, and the water flows from it, ‘Can I pass upon it bare-footed?’ So, he-asws said: ‘Is there not something dry around it?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘So there is no problem. The earth (soil), parts of it purify the (other) parts’.[20]
What if one finds wetness/discharge after performing Wuzu:
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا ( عليهما السلام ) عَنِ الْمَذْيِ فَقَالَ لَا يَنْقُضُ الْوُضُوءَ وَ لَا يُغْسَلُ مِنْهُ ثَوْبٌ وَ لَا جَسَدٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُخَاطِ وَ الْبُزَاقِ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said,
‘I asked one of the two (5th or the 6th Imam-asws) about the seminal fluid, so he-asws said: ‘It does not break the Ablution (Wazu), and one neither has to wash the clothes from it nor the body. But rather, it is at the status of the mucus and the saliva’.[21]

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah who said,
‘I asked Al-Reza-asws about washing for the day of Friday, so he-asws said: ‘An Obligation upon every male and female, whether a slave or free’.[23]
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ غُسْلِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ وَاجِبٌ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ الْحَضَرِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ رُخِّصَ لِلنِّسَاءِ فِي السَّفَرِ لِقِلَّةِ الْمَاءِ

وَ قَالَ غُسْلُ الْجَنَابَةِ وَاجِبٌ وَ غُسْلُ الْحَائِضِ إِذَا طَهُرَتْ وَاجِبٌ وَ غُسْلُ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ وَاجِبٌ إِذَا احْتَشَتْ بِالْكُرْسُفِ فَجَازَ الدَّمُ الْكُرْسُفَ فَعَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاتَيْنِ وَ لِلْفَجْرِ غُسْلٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَجُزِ الدَّمُ الْكُرْسُفَ فَعَلَيْهَا الْغُسْلُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّةً وَ الْوُضُوءُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَ غُسْلُ النُّفَسَاءِ وَاجِبٌ وَ غُسْلُ الْمَوْلُودِ وَاجِبٌ

And if the rag suffices for the blood, so upon her is the washing once every day, and the Ablution (Wazu) for every Salaat; and the washing for post childbirth bleeding is an Obligation, and washing for the child birth is an Obligation;

For the Night of Pre-determination is hoped for in one of these; and washing for the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr and washing for the day of the Sacrifice (Al-Azha) is a Sunnah, I-asws do not like it to be neglected, and washing for the Istikhara. It is the recommended deed regarding the washing of the three nights from a Month of Ramazaan – the night of the nineteenth, and twenty-first, and the twenty-third’.[24]
Pre-Fajr time bath is good for all baths required during that day:
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلْتَ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ أَجْزَأَكَ غُسْلُكَ ذَلِكَ لِلْجَنَابَةِ وَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ عَرَفَةَ وَ النَّحْرِ وَ الْحَلْقِ وَ الذَّبْحِ وَ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْكَ حُقُوقٌ أَجْزَأَهَا عَنْكَ غُسْلٌ وَاحِدٌ
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara,
He-asws: ‘When you wash after the emergence of the dawn, that washing of yours would suffice for the sexual impurity, and the Friday, and Arafaat, and the shaving (of the head), and the sacrifice, and the Ziyarat; and whenever the rights gather upon you, one washing would suffice you from these’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ يُجْزِئُهَا غُسْلٌ وَاحِدٌ لِجَنَابَتِهَا وَ إِحْرَامِهَا وَ جُمُعَتِهَا وَ غُسْلِهَا مِنْ حَيْضِهَا وَ عِيدِهَا .
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws said: ‘And similar to that is the woman, one washing would suffice her for her sexual impurity, and her Friday, and the washing from her menstruation, and her Eid’.[25]
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ( عليهما السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ الْجُنُبُ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ أَجْزَأَ عَنْهُ ذَلِكَ الْغُسْلُ مِنْ كُلِّ غُسْلٍ يَلْزَمُهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ .

(It has been narrated) from one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘When the one with sexual impurity wash after the emergence of the dawn, that washing of his would suffice him from every washing necessitated upon him during that day’.[26]
Perform Wazu before taking Bath but not afterwards:
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ شَاذَانَ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ الْوُضُوءُ بَعْدَ الْغُسْلِ بِدْعَةٌ .

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْغُسْلِ فِيهِ وُضُوءٌ إِلَّا غُسْلُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّ قَبْلَهُ وُضُوءاً .
And it is reported: ‘There is nothing from the washing wherein is an Ablution (Wazu) except for the washing for the day of Friday, for before it is an Ablution (Wazu)’.
وَ رُوِيَ أَيُّ وُضُوءٍ أَطْهَرُ مِنَ الْغُسْلِ .
And it is reported, ‘Which Ablution (Wazu) is more cleansing that the washing?’[28]
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْخَاتَمِ إِذَا اغْتَسَلْتُ قَالَ حَوِّلْهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ وَ قَالَ فِي الْوُضُوءِ تُدِيرُهُ وَ إِنْ نَسِيتَ حَتَّى تَقُومَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُعِيدَ الصَّلَاةَ .
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the ring when I wash. He-asws said: ‘Turn it around from its place’. And he-asws said: ‘With regards to the Ablution (Wazu), turn it around, and if you forget until you are standing in the Salaat, so I-asws do not order you that you should repeat the Salaat’.[29]
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ اغْتَسَلَ أَبِي مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَدْ أَبْقَيْتَ لُمْعَةً فِي ظَهْرِكَ لَمْ يُصِبْهَا الْمَاءُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ لَوْ سَكَتَّ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ تِلْكَ اللُّمْعَةَ بِيَدِهِ .

So, he-asws said to him: ‘That was not upon you (to point out), if only you had remained silent’. Then one can wipe that spot with the hand’.[30]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَا تَنْقُضُ الْمَرْأَةُ شَعْرَهَا إِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about what the woman should do regarding the hair and the plaits (curls). So, he-asws said: ‘She did not happen to have combed these.

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ الْجُنُبُ مَا جَرَى عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ قَلِيلُهُ وَ كَثِيرُهُ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel, from Zurara,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘The one with sexual impurity, whatever water flows upon his body, be it little or a lot, so it has sufficed him’.[40]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَغْتَسِلُ الْجُنُبُ فَقَالَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصَابَ كَفَّهُ شَيْءٌ غَمَسَهَا فِي الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ بَدَأَ بِفَرْجِهِ فَأَنْقَاهُ بِثَلَاثِ غُرَفٍ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ أَكُفٍّ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَمَا جَرَى عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,
‘I said, ‘How should the one with sexual impurity, wash?’ So he-asws said: ‘If nothing happens to have hit his palm, he should immerse it into the water, then begin with his private part. So, he should clean it with three scoops. Then he should pour upon his head three handfuls, then pour upon his right shoulder twice, and upon his left shoulder twice. So, whatever the water flows upon, so it would suffice him’.[41]
One must not go to sleep when with Janub:
لا ينام المسلم و هو جنب و لا ينام إلا على طهور فإن لم يجد الماء فليتيمم بالصعيد فإن روح المؤمن ترتفع إلى الله عز و جل فيقبلها و يبارك عليها فإن كان أجلها قد حضر جعلها في صورة حسنة و إن لم يحضر أجلها بعث بها مع أمنائه من الملائكة فردها في جسده
A Muslim should never sleep in the state of impurity (Janub). He/she should not go to sleep until after purifying himself, he should make use of dust (Taiyyum) if water is unavailable. In sleeping, a believer’s soul ascends to Allah-azwj and Allah-azwj Approves and Blesses it. If the time of his death has come then Allah-azwj would transform that soul in its best form. However, if his death is away, Allah-azwj will Ask His Angels to return it to believer’s body.[42]
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُجْنِبُ ثُمَّ يُرِيدُ النَّوْمَ قَالَ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَ الْغُسْلُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ وَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَامَ وَ لَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ وَ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى .
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from his brother Al Hassan, from Zur’at, from Sama’at who said,
‘I asked him-asws about the man who comes to be with sexual impurity, then he wants to sleep. He-asws said: ‘I-asws would love it if he were to perform Ablution (Wazu), so let him do so, and the washing is more beloved to me-asws, the superior than that. So, if he were to sleep and does not perform Ablution (Wazu) and does not wash, so there would be nothing upon him, Allah-azwj Willing’.[43]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There is no problem if a man were to apply dye and he comes to be with sexual impurity while he is with the dye. (similarly) there is no problem if the one with sexual impurity were to apply waxing and he gets cupping done, and he slaughters, and he should not taste anything until he washes his hands, and he rinses his mouth, for fear of the vitiligo from it’.[44]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina, from Abu Asama who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the one with sexual impurity sweating in his clothes, or he washes and he embraces his wife and he copulates with her and she is menstruating, or he is with sexual impurity and his body is hit from her sweat. He-asws said: ‘All of this is not with anything’.[45]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The man urinates and he is with sexual impurity. Then he cleans his private part, and his clothes hit his body and he is wet’. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem’.[46]

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘When the man does not find cleanliness and he was with sexual impurity, so let him wipe from the earth, and he should pray Salaat. So, when he does find water, so let him wash, and his Salaat would suffice him, which he prayed’.[47]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ شَاذَانَ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَضْمَضَةِ وَ الِاسْتِنْشَاقِ قَالَ لَيْسَ هُمَا مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ هُمَا مِنَ الْجَوْفِ .
Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Shazaan Bin Al Khaleel, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Hammad, from Abu Baseer,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I asked him-asws about the rinsing (of the mouth and the sniffing (of the water). He-asws said: ‘These two are not from the Ablution (Wazu), they are from the (cleaning of the) inside’.[65]
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ مَضْمَضَةٌ وَ لَا اسْتِنْشَاقٌ لِأَنَّهُمَا مِنَ الْجَوْفِ .
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘It is not upon you (to do), neither the rinsing (of the mouth) nor the sniffing (of the water), because these two are (cleansing of the) inside’.[66]
Description of the Ablution (Wuzu)
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ وَ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ حَكَى لَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَدَعَا بِقَدَحٍ فَأَخَذَ كَفّاً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَسْدَلَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ مِنَ الْجَانِبَيْنِ جَمِيعاً ثُمَّ أَعَادَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَأَسْدَلَهَا عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ مَسَحَ جَوَانِبَهَا ثُمَّ أَعَادَ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَصَبَّهَا عَلَى الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ صَنَعَ بِهَا كَمَا صَنَعَ بِالْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِمَا بَقِيَ فِي يَدِهِ رَأْسَهُ وَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يُعِدْهُمَا فِي الْإِنَاءِ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Aban and Jameel, from Zurara who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws imitated for us an Ablution (Wazu) of Rasool-Allah-saww. So he-asws called for a jug and took a handful of water and poured it upon his-asws face. Then he-asws wiped his-asws face from both the sides together. Then he-asws scooped (the water) by immersing his left hand into the vessel, so he-asws poured it upon his right hand. Then he-asws wiped its two sides. Then he-asws scooped (the water) by immersing his right hand into the vessel, so he-asws poured it upon his left hand. Then he-asws did just as he-asws had done with the right hand. Then he-asws wiped with whatever remained in his-asws hand, upon his-asws head and his-asws feet, and he-asws did not immerse these two into the vessel’.[67]
APPENDIX II: Ahadith on walking barefoot and without cloak:
وَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ وَ جَمَاعَةٌ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْمَكْفُوفِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّامِتِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَى قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع مَاشِياً كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ أَلْفَ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ أَلْفَ دَرَجَةٍ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ الْفُرَاتَ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ عَلِّقْ نَعْلَيْكَ وَ امْشِ حَافِياً وَ امْشِ مَشْيَ الْعَبْدِ الذَّلِيلِ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَ بَابَ الْحَائِرِ فَكَبِّرْ أَرْبَعاً ثُمَّ امْشِ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ كَبِّرْ أَرْبَعاً ثُمَّ ائْتِ رَأْسَهُ فَقِفْ عَلَيْهِ فَكَبِّرْ أَرْبَعاً [فَكَبِّرْ وَ صَلِّ عِنْدَهُ وَ اسْأَلْ] وَ صَلِّ أَرْبَعاً وَ اسْأَلِ اللَّهَ حَاجَتَكَ.
Ali Ibn Al-Husayn Ibn Musa ibn Babawiyyah and the group of Allah have mercy on them told me about Sa’ad ibn Abdullah about Al-Hasan Ibn Ali Ibn Abdullah Ibn Al-Mughairah about Al-Abbas Ibn Amer about Jaber Al-Makhuf about Abu Al-Samat and he said I heard:
Abu Abdullah-asws (Imam Al- Sadiq-asws) said: The Almighty Allah–azwj Records a thousand good deeds and erases a thousand sins for every step taken by one who performs the Ziyarat of Imam Hussain–asws on foot. He will also increase their status a thousand times for every step.
Then Imam–asws said: When you arrive at Euphrates, perform Ghusl,
‘وَ عَلِّقْ نَعْلَيْكَ وَ امْشِ حَافِياً وَ امْشِ مَشْيَ الْعَبْدِ الذَّلِيلِ’ and remove your shoes and walk barefoot like the ‘Mashi’ (walk) of a humble servant. Once you arrive at the door of the holy shrine, recite Takbir four times. Then walk a little and repeat this four more times. Then come near his head, stand there and repeat it four more times. Pray near his grave and ask Allah–azwj, the Exalted for your needs.[68]
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ لَمَّا مَاتَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام ) خَرَجَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَتَقَدَّمَ السَّرِيرَ بِلَا حِذَاءٍ وَ لَا رِدَاءٍ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Usman who said,
‘When Ismail, son of Abu Abdullah–asws died, Abu Abdullah–asws went out and walked in front of the coffin without shoes as well as (without) a cloak’.[69]
