3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ بِهِ الْقَرْحَةُ فِي ذِرَاعِهِ أَوْ نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْوُضُوءِ فَيُعَصِّبُهَا بِالْخِرْقَةِ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَيَمْسَحُ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ يُؤْذِيهِ الْمَاءُ فَلْيَمْسَحْ عَلَى الْخِرْقَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ لاَ يُؤْذِيهِ الْمَاءُ فَلْيَنْزِعِ الْخِرْقَةَ ثُمَّ لْيَغْسِلْهَا قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْجُرْحِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهِ فِي غَسْلِهِ قَالَ اغْسِلْ مَا حَوْلَهُ.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, was asked about a man in whose forearm there is a wound or such part to wash or wipe for Wudu’ which is bandaged with a piece of fabric, he takes Wudu’ and wipes on it when taking Wudu’. He (the Imam) said, ‘If water hurts him he must wipe over the fabric, but if water does not hurt, he must remove the fabric, then wash it.’ I (the narrator) then asked about the case of a wound, how to deal with it for a Ghusl (bath). He (the Imam) said, ‘One must wash the area around it.’”
