“I heard him (the Imam) (a.s.), say, ‘If you cannot find water and you decide for Tayammum, you must wait until the time (for Salah (prayer)) is about to end. If water is still not available, you do not miss the soil and the ground.’”
إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمُسَافِرُ الْمَاءَ فَلْيَطْلُبْ[2] مَا دَامَ فِي الْوَقْتِ فَإِذَا خَافَ أَنْ يَفُوتَهُ الْوَقْتُ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ وَ لْيُصَلِّ فِي آخِرِ الْوَقْتِ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ الْمَاءَ فَلَا قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لْيَتَوَضَّأْ لِمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ.
“One of the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘If during a journey water cannot be found, one must search for water as long as there is time; but when there is fear for losing time, one must then take Tayammum to perform Salah (prayer) during the end of time just before it totally ends. If later water is found, th

“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 sufficien

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), ‘Can a man pray Salaat with one Ablution (Wudhu), (including) all of the night and day prayers’. He said: ‘Yes, for as long as an event does not occur (breaking his ablution)’. I said, ‘Can he pray with one Tayammum, all of the night and day prayers?’ He said: ‘Yes, for as long as an ev
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ لَا يَجِدُ الْمَاءَ فَيَتَيَمَّمُ وَ يُقِيمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ هُوَ ذَا الْمَاءُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَرْكَعْ فَلْيَنْصَرِفْ وَ لْيَتَوَضَّأْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ رَكَعَ فَلْيَمْضِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who cannot find water and with Tayammum begins to perform Salah (prayer); then the boy brings water for him. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he has not yet assumed the position of Ruku‘, he must discontinue his Salah (prayer) for Wudu’, but if he has already assumed Ruku‘ positi

6. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Dawud al-Riqqiy who has said the following: “I once said to abu ’Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam. ‘During a journey if I cannot find water when it is time of Salah (prayer); but it is said that water is nearby. Must I then search in the ri
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَمُرُّ بِالرَّكِيَّةِ[2] وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ دَلْوٌ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ الرَّكِيَّةَ إِنَّ رَبَّ الْمَاءِ هُوَ رَبُّ الْأَرْضِ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ[3].
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who passes by a well but does not have a bucket (to draw water). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not necessary for him to climb down the well; the Lord of water is the Lord the earth; he must take Tayammum.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَا يَكُونُ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ وَ الْمَاءُ عَنْ يَمِينِ الطَّرِيقِ وَ يَسَارِهِ غَلْوَتَيْنِ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَا آمُرُهُ أَنْ يُغَرِّرَ بِنَفْسِهِ فَيَعْرِضَ لَهُ لِصٌّ أَوْ سَبُعٌ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who does not have any water (for Wudu’) during a journey, but there is water on the right or left side of the road at a distance of once or twice throwing of an arrow or so. He (the Imam) said, ‘I do not command him to mislead himself and then be endangered by the beasts
إِذَا أَتَيْتَ الْبِئْرَ وَ أَنْتَ جُنُبٌ وَ لَمْ تَجِدْ دَلْواً وَ لَا شَيْئاً تَغْرِفُ بِهِ فَتَيَمَّمْ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَإِنَّ رَبَّ الْمَاءِ وَ رَبَّ الصَّعِيدِ وَاحِدٌ وَ لَا تَقَعْ فِي الْبِئْرِ وَ لَا تُفْسِدْ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ مَاءَهُمْ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you come to a well when you have experienced sexual relation and cannot find a bucket or other means to draw water, you must take Tayammum with soil; the Lord of water and the Lord of the soil is one. Do not climb down the well and destroy people’s water.’”
سَأَلْتُهُ[1] عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَ كَانَ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ فَنَسِيَهُ وَ تَيَمَّمَ وَ صَلَّى ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ مَعَهُ مَاءً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ الْوَقْتُ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ وَ يُعِيدَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ تَيَمُّمِ الْحَائِضِ وَ الْجُنُبِ سَوَاءٌ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدَا مَاءً قَالَ نَعَمْ.
“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man who during a journey had a certain amount of water but forgot all about it, and with Tayammum performed Salah (prayer). Then he remembered that there was water with him and still there is time for Salah (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘He must take Wudu’ and perform Salah
