4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ التَّيَمُّمِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فَتَمَعَّكَ كَمَا تَتَمَعَّكُ الدَّابَّةُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَا عَمَّارُ تَمَعَّكْتَ كَمَا تَتَمَعَّكُ الدَّابَّةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ التَّيَمُّمُ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْمِسْحِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهَا فَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ فَوْقَ الْكَفِّ قَلِيلاً. وَرَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from ibn abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about Tayammum. He (the Imam) said, “Ammar Ibn Yasir once had experienced sexual relation and he rolled himself on the ground as certain animals do. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘O ‘Ammar, you rolled yourself on the ground as certain animals do.’ I (the narrator) then asked him (the Imam), ‘How is Tayammum done?’ He (the Imam) placed his hand on the sackcloth, then raised it and wiped his face, then the backs of his hands slightly.”
He (the narrator) has narrated it (the previous Hadith) from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Abu Ayyub also.
