Chapter on Etiquettes of Acts That Require Purification

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ya'qub ibn Yazid, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Dawud ibn Farqad, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, said: Imam عليه السلام said: “The Children of Israel, if a drop of urine touched any of them, would cut their flesh with scissors. But Allah سبحانه وتعالى has made things easier for you (Muslims), as vast as what lies between the heavens and the earth, and He سبحانه وتعالى has made water a purifier for you. So be mindful of how you conduct yourselves (regarding cleanliness).”
