Al-Kāfi|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 41
10ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَكَانَ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ فَنَسِيَهُ وَتَيَمَّمَ وَصَلَّى ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ مَعَهُ مَاءً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ الْوَقْتُ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ وَيُعِيدَ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ تَيَمُّمِ الْحَائِضِ وَالْجُنُبِ سَوَاءٌ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدَا مَاءً قَالَ نَعَمْ.
10. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) عليه السلام, 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 (prayer) again.’ I (the narrator) then asked him (the Imam) if Tayammum for one experiencing Hayd (menses) and sexual relation who cannot find water is the same. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is the same.’”
