مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ اَلْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلشَّمْسِ هَلْ تُطَهِّرُ اَلْأَرْضَ قَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ اَلْمَوْضِعُ قَذِراً مِنَ اَلْبَوْلِ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَأَصَابَتْهُ اَلشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ يَبِسَ اَلْمَوْضِعُ فَالصَّلاَةُ عَلَى اَلْمَوْضِعِ جَائِزَةٌ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ اَلشَّمْسُ وَ لَمْ يَيْبَسِ اَلْمَوْضِعُ اَلْقَذِرُ وَ كَانَ رَطْباً فَلاَ تَجُوزُ اَلصَّلاَةُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَيْبَسَ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ رِجْلُكَ رَطْبَةً أَوْ جَبْهَتُكَ رَطْبَةً أَوْ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ مِنْكَ مَا يُصِيبُ ذَلِكَ اَلْمَوْضِعَ اَلْقَذِرَ فَلاَ تُصَلِّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اَلْمَوْضِعِ اَلْقَذِرِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَيْنُ اَلشَّمْسِ أَصَابَهُ حَتَّى يَبِسَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ».
from Muhammad bin Al-Hasan, from Ahmad bin Idris, from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Al-Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Amr bin Sa’id Al-Mada’ini, from Musaddiq bin Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about whether the sun purifies the ground. Imam عليه السلام said: "If the place is defiled by urine or anything else, and the sun strikes it and then it dries, it is permissible to pray on that spot. However, if the sun strikes it and the defiled place does not dry and remains wet, then it is not permissible to pray on it until it dries. And if your foot is wet, or your forehead is wet, or any other part of you that comes into contact with that defiled place, then do not pray on that defiled spot. And even if the sunlight strikes it until it dries, it is not permissible [to pray on it] unless it completely dries."
