On Those Who Omit Wudu or Part of it, or Doubts in Its Completion
وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ اَلْأَحْبَارِ أُقْعِدَ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّا جَالِدُوكَ مِائَةَ جَلْدَةٍ مِنْ عَذَابِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ لاَ أُطِيقُهَا فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّى رَدُّوهُ إِلَى وَاحِدَةٍ فَقَالَ لاَ أُطِيقُهَا فَقَالُوا لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهَا قَالَ فَبِمَا تَجْلِدُونِيهَا قَالُوا نَجْلِدُكَ بِأَنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ يَوْماً بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ وَ مَرَرْتَ عَلَى ضَعِيفٍ فَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ فَجَلَدُوهُ جَلْدَةً مِنْ عَذَابِ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَامْتَلَأَ قَبْرُهُ نَاراً.
(Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام ) narrated: "A certain man from among the scholars was placed in his grave, and it was said to him: 'We will strike you with one hundred lashes from the punishment of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Majestic.' He replied: 'I cannot bear it.' They continued to reduce the punishment, until it was brought down to one lash. He said: 'I still cannot bear it.' They replied: 'It is unavoidable.' He asked: 'Why will you lash me?' They said: 'We will lash you because one day you prayed without wudu (ablution), and because you passed by a weak person and did not help him.' So they lashed him once with a punishment from Allah سبحانه وتعالى the Exalted, and his grave was filled with fire."
