ا قُلْنَا لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِمَامُ قَوْمٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فِي السَّفَرِ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ يَكْفِيهِ لِلْغُسْلِ أَ يَتَوَضَّأُ بَعْضُهُمْ وَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ جَعَلَ التُّرَابَ طَهُوراً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Humran and Jameel who both said, ‘We said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A Prayer leader of a group of people gets him by the sexual impurity during the journey and there is no water with him which would suffice him for the washing. Should one of them perform Ablution <span class="iTxt">(Wudhu)</span> and he should pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> with them?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but let him perform <span class="iTxt">Tayammum</span>, and he should pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> with them, for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has made the dust to be a purifier’.
