When Tayammum Is Necessary and Finding Water Thereafter

8ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنْ رَجُلٍ لاَ يَكُونُ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ وَالْمَاءُ عَنْ يَمِينِ الطَّرِيقِ وَيَسَارِهِ غَلْوَتَيْنِ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لاَ آمُرُهُ أَنْ يُغَرِّرَ بِنَفْسِهِ فَيَعْرِضَ لَهُ لِصٌّ أَوْ سَبُعٌ.
8. Af-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from ai-Washsha’ from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from Ya’qub ibn Salim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who does not have any water (for Wudu’) during a journey, but there is water on the right or left side of the road at a distance of once or twice throwing of an arrow or so. He (the Imam) said, ‘I do not command him to mislead himself and then be endangered by the beasts or thieves.’”
