Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 12
وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَ قَالَ:« إِذَا اِحْتَلَمَ اَلرَّجُلُ فَأَصَابَ ثَوْبَهُ مَنِيٌّ فَلْيَغْسِلِ اَلَّذِي أَصَابَهُ فَإِنْ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ أَصَابَهُ مَنِيٌّ وَ لَمْ يَسْتَيْقِنْ وَلَمْ يَرَ مَكَانَهُ فَلْيَنْضِحْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَإِنِ اِسْتَيْقَنَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ وَلَمْ يَرَ مَكَانَهُ فَلْيَغْسِلْ ثَوْبَهُ كُلَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ أَحْسَنُ».
With this chain of transmission, from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad, from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام. He said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "If a man has a wet dream and semen touches his garment, he should wash the area that was affected. But if he suspects that semen may have touched his garment without being certain and does not see its location, he should sprinkle water over it. And if he is certain that semen touched his garment but cannot identify its location, he should wash the entire garment, as this is better."
