مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى اَلْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَغْسِلُ وَجْهِي ثُمَّ أَغْسِلُ يَدِي وَ يُشَكِّكُنِي اَلشَّيْطَانُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَغْسِلْ ذِرَاعِي وَ يَدِي قَالَ« إِذَا وَجَدْتَ بَرْدَ اَلْمَاءِ عَلَى ذِرَاعِكَ فَلاَ تُعِدْ».
Narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Abu Yahya al-Wasiti, from some of his companions, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام:
I said: "May I be your ransom! I wash my face and then wash my hands, but Satan causes me to doubt whether I have washed my forearms and hands." Imam عليه السلام replied: "If you feel the coolness of the water on your forearm, then do not repeat it."
