Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 1
وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا[ أَصْحَابِهِ] عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ ظَرِيفٍ يَعْنِي اِبْنَ نَاصِحٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لَيْسَ فِي حَبِّ اَلْقَرْعِ وَ اَلدِّيدَانِ اَلصِّغَارِ وُضُوءٌ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلْقَمْلِ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me, saying: Abu Al-Qasim Ja‘far bin Muhammad narrated to me, from Muhammad bin Ya‘qub, from a group of our companions, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Isma‘il, from Zharif (Ibn Nasih), from Tha‘labah bin Maymun, from Abdullah bin Yazid, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no need for ablution (wudu) due to the eggs of lice or small worms; they are only like lice in status."
