Chapter on Water and Its Rules

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَاءِ اَلسَّاكِنِ وَ اَلاِسْتِنْجَاءِ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ« تَوَضَّأْ مِنَ اَلْجَانِبِ اَلْآخَرِ وَ لاَ تَوَضَّأْ مِنْ جَانِبِ اَلْجِيفَةِ
Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about still water and performing istinja (purification after relieving oneself) with it. Imam عليه السلام said: "Perform wudu (ablution) from the other side and do not perform wudu from the side where the carcass is."
