الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سُدَيْرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رُبَّمَا بُلْتُ فَلَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَيَشْتَدُّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَيَّ. فَقَالَ: إِذَا بُلْتَ وَتَمَسَّحْتَ فَامْسَحْ ذَكَرَكَ بِرِيقِكَ، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْ هَذَا مِنْ ذَاكَ.
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id narrated from Muhammad ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hanan ibn Sudayr, who said:
I heard a man ask Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام, and he said: "I sometimes urinate but cannot find water, and this troubles me." He (Imam عليه السلام) said: "If you urinate and wipe yourself, then wipe your private part with your saliva. If you find anything (afterward), say: 'This is from that.'"
