Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 20
مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَ لاَ تَحِلُّ اَلصَّلاَةُ فِيهِ وَ لَيْسَ يَجِدُ مَاءً يَغْسِلُهُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ« يَتَيَمَّمُ وَ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا أَصَابَ مَاءً غَسَلَهُ وَ أَعَادَ اَلصَّلاَةَ».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Sa’id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a man who has only one garment, in which prayer is not permissible, and he does not find water to wash it. What should he do? Imam عليه السلام said: "He should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and pray. Then, when he finds water, he should wash it and repeat the prayer."
