عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ تَكُونُ بِهِ اَلْقَرْحَةُ فِي ذِرَاعِهِ أَوْ نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِ اَلْوُضُوءِ فَيُعَصِّبُهَا بِالْخِرْقَةِ وَ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يَمْسَحُ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَقَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ يُؤْذِيهِ اَلْمَاءُ فَلْيَمْسَحْ عَلَى اَلْخِرْقَةِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لاَ يُؤْذِيهِ اَلْمَاءُ فَلْيَنْزِعِ اَلْخِرْقَةَ ثُمَّ لْيَغْسِلْهَا» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْجُرْحِ كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ فِي غَسْلِهِ قَالَ« اِغْسِلْ مَا حَوْلَهُ».
Ali ibn Ibrahim narrated from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad, from al-Halabi:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام was asked about a man who has a wound on his arm or a similar area required for wudu (ablution). The wound is bandaged with a cloth, and he performs ablution and wipes over it. Imam عليه السلام said: "If water harms him, then he should wipe over the cloth. But if water does not harm him, then he should remove the cloth and wash the wound." He (Narrator) further said: “I asked Imam عليه السلام about a cut - how should it be washed?” Imam عليه السلام said: "Wash around it."
