"It is not appropriate for the Imam, if he becomes impure (breaks his wudu'), to appoint someone else to lead except for someone who was present from the beginning of the iqamah (call to start the prayer).

"I asked him about a man who leads a congregation for two rak'ahs and then informs them that he was not in a state of wudu' (ritual purity). Imam (as) said: 'The congregation should complete their prayer because the Imam bears no responsibility (for their prayers).'".

مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُصَلِّي فِي الْوَقْتِ وَ يَفْرُغُ ثُمَّ يَأْتِيهِمْ وَ يُصَلِّي مَعَهُمْ‌[4] وَ هُوَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً.

"There is no servant who prays at the prescribed time, completes it, then joins another group and prays with them while still in a state of wudu' except that Allah (swt) writes for him twenty-five degrees (levels of reward)."

Hadith.1219 - Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said to Zurarah ibn A'yan: "Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has enjoined upon people thirty-five prayers from one Jumu’ah to the next, one of which Allah (swt) has made obligatory in congregation — that is, the Jumu’ah prayer. It is waived for nine categories: the

إِذَا نَسِيَ الرَّجُلُ صَلَاةً أَوْ صَلَّاهَا بِغَيْرِ طَهُورٍ وَ هُوَ مُقِيمٌ أَوْ مُسَافِرٌ فَذَكَرَهَا فَلْيَقْضِ الَّذِي وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُ وَ مَنْ نَسِيَ أَرْبَعاً قَضَى أَرْبَعاً حِينَ يَذْكُرُهَا مُسَافِراً كَانَ‌

"If a man forgets a prayer or prays it without purification, whether he is at home or traveling, and then remembers it, he must make up the prayer that is due, neither adding to it nor subtracting from it. If he forgot four rak'ahs (units of prayer), he should make up four rak'ahs when he remembers, regardless of wheth

الَّذِي يَخَافُ اللُّصُوصَ وَ السَّبُعَ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْمُوَاقَفَةِ إِيمَاءً عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْمُوَاقِفُ‌[3] عَلَى وُضُوءٍ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ وَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى النُّزُولِ قَالَ يَتَيَمَّمُ مِنْ لِبْدِ دَابَّتِهِ أَوْ سَرْجِهِ أَوْ مَعْرَفَةِ دَابَّتِهِ‌[4] فَإِنَّ فِيهَا غُبَاراً وَ يُصَلِّي وَ يَجْعَلُ السُّجُودَ أَخْفَضَ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَ لَا يَدُورُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَ

Hadith.1345 – Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that He said: "One who fears robbers or a wild beast should perform the prayer of a stopped traveler using gestures while on their mount." I (Zurarah) asked: "What if the person does not have wudu (ablution) and cannot dismount? What should they do

مَنْ تَطَهَّرَ ثُمَّ أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ بَاتَ وَ فِرَاشُهُ كَمَسْجِدِهِ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ مِنْ دِثَارِهِ وَ كَائِناً مَا كَانَ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ[2]

Hadith.1350 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever purifies themselves (performs wudu) and then goes to their bed, their bed will be like their mosque (place of prayer). If they remember that they are not in a state of wudu, they should perform tayammum (dry ablution) using the fabric of their covering,

إِذَا خِفْتَ الْجَنَابَةَ فَقُلْ فِي فِرَاشِكَ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الِاحْتِلَامِ وَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْأَحْلَامِ وَ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَلَاعَبَ بِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ وَ الْمَنَامِ.

"If you fear experiencing a state of janabah (ritual impurity) during sleep, say in your bed: 'O’ Allah (swt), I seek refuge with You from experiencing a wet dream, from evil dreams, and from being manipulated by Shaytan (the devil) in wakefulness and in sleep.'"

يَقُومُ النَّاسُ مِنْ فُرُشِهِمْ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَصْنَافٍ صِنْفٍ لَهُ وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ وَ صِنْفٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا لَهُ وَ صِنْفٍ لَا عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا لَهُ فَأَمَّا الصِّنْفُ الَّذِي لَهُ وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُومُ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يُصَلِّي وَ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي لَهُ وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ وَ أَمَّا الصِّنْفُ الثَّانِي فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَذَلِكَ الَّ

Hadith.1365 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "People rise from their beds in three categories: one for whom it is in their favour and not against them, one for whom it is against them and not in their favour, and one for whom it is neither in their favour nor against them. As for the one who is in their fa

مَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ جَمَاعَةَ النَّاسِ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَ لْيَتَطَيَّبْ بِمَا وَجَدَ وَ يُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِهِ وَحْدَهُ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي جَمَاعَةٍ[2].

"Whoever does not attend the congregation of people for the Eid prayers should perform the ritual bath (ghusl), apply whatever perfume is available, and then pray at home alone as he would pray in congregation”.

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ غُسْلِ الْأَضْحَى- قَالَ وَاجِبٌ إِلَّا بِمِنًى‌[4].

I asked Imam (as) about the Ghusl (ritual purification bath) of Eid al-Adha. Imam (as) said: "It is obligatory except for those in Mina."

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ غُسْلَ الْعِيدَيْنِ سُنَّةٌ.

Hadith.1462 - It has been narrated: "The Ghusl (ritual purification bath) for the two Eids is a Sunnah (recommended practice)."

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ عَلَيْهَا غُسْلُ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ وَ اَلْفِطْرِ وَ اَلْأَضْحَى وَ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، قَالَ «نَعَمْ عَلَيْهَا اَلْغُسْلُ كُلُّهُ.

Hadith.1463 - Al-Halabi narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "I asked him about whether a woman is required to perform Ghusl (ritual purification bath) on Jumu’ah, on the day of Eid al-Fitr, on the day of Eid al-Adha, and on the day of Arafah. Imam (as) said: 'Yes, She is required to perfor

"I wrote to Abu Ja'far (as) and complained to him about the frequent earthquakes in Ahwaz and asked him, 'Do you think I should move away from there?' He (as) wrote back, 'Do not move away from there. Fast on Wednesday, Thursday, and Jumu’ah, perform ghusl (ritual purification), purify your clothes, and go out on Jumu’

"If you are afflicted with a grave matter, give charity during the day to sixty needy people, with each receiving half a sa' of the Prophet’s (sw) measure from dates, wheat, or barley. At night, during the last third of the night, perform a ritual bath (ghusl), then wear the simplest clothing that one in your care wear

"If you have an important need from Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, then fast for three consecutive days—Wednesday, Thursday, and Jumu’ah. On Jumu’ah, if Allah (swt) wills, perform a ritual bath (ghusl), wear a new garment, and go to the highest part of your house. Pray two units (rak'ahs) there, and then raise y

Hadith.1544 - Sama’a narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "When one of you falls ill, he calls for the physician and pays him. When someone has a need from a ruler, he bribes the gatekeeper and gives him. However, if one of you is struck by an overwhelming concern and turns to Allah (swt),

I replied: "I have already prayed against him." Imam (as) said: "Not like that. Instead, refrain from sins, fast, pray, and give charity. Then, in the last pa
