Chapter on Tayammum (dry ablution) and Its Rules

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِذَا كَانَ اَلرَّجُلُ نَائِماً فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ اَلْحَرَامِ أَوْ مَسْجِدِ اَلرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فَاحْتَلَمَ فَأَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ وَ لاَ يَمُرَّ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ إِلاَّ مُتَيَمِّماً وَ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ فِي سَائِرِ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ وَ لاَ يَجْلِسْ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Ya’qub ibn Yazid, from Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Hamzah, who said: Abu Ja’far عليه السلام said: "If a man is sleeping in Al-Masjid Al-Haram or the Mosque of the Messenger (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family) and experiences a wet dream, resulting in janabah (major ritual impurity), he should perform tayammum (dry ablution) and should not pass through the mosque except in a state of tayammum. However, there is no harm in passing through other mosques, but he should not sit in any of the mosques."
