Draining Urine, Washing and If One Does Not Find Water

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from and abu Dawud all al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-‘Ala’ ibn abu Ya‘fur who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who urinates, then takes Wudu. He then stands up for Salah (prayer) and finds a certain moisture. He (the Imam) said, ’He does not need Wudu; it is of Haba’il (passageways, veins).”

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Ahmad ibn ‘Ushaym from Safwan who has said the following: “Once a man asked al-Rida عليه السلام, when I was present, saying, ‘There is a wound in my anus. I take Wudu and wash clean; but then I find wetness and yellowness there. Do I need to take Wudu again ? He (the Imam) said, ‘Had you cleaned it? He replied, ‘Yes, I did so.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, but pour water on it and you do not need to take Wudu again.” Ahmad ibn abu Nasr has said that a man asked al-Rida عليه السلام, a question like that in Hadith of Safwan.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hanan ibn Sadir who said: “Once a man asked abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام, saying, ‘At times when I urinate, I cannot find water and it becomes severe for me . He (the Imam) said, ‘When you urinate and wipe it clean, you can then wipe your penis with saliva; and if you find something then say it is of that (moisture from passageways and veins).”

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from Mansur ibn Hazim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who has the urge to urinate and cannot hold it any longer. He (the Imam) said to me, ‘If he is not able to hold, Allah is the foremost to accept apologies, he can allow it to come out in a bag.”

6. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn Ishaq from Sa‘dan from ‘Abd al-Rahman who said: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about a castrated man who when urinating feels great pain and finds wetness time after time. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must take Wudu and pour water on it once during the day.”

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Al-Husayn ibn abu al-‘Ala’ who said: “I once asked Abu ’Abdillah عليه السلام, about urine which pollutes the body. He (the Imam) said: 'Pour water on it twice.'
It is also narrated that one can wash it with the same amount of water if it is on the tip of the penis or on something else. It is also narrated that it is water and not dirt and it needs to be dropped down.’”

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from ibn Faddal from Ghalib ibn ‘Uthman from Rawh ibn ‘Abd al-Rahim who said: “Once, abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام, urinated. I was standing nearby with a water container or a jug. When the jet of urine stopped, he (the Imam) made a gesture with his hand for water and I gave it to him and he (the Imam) made Wudu’ at the same place.”
