مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَنْقَطِعُ ظُفُرُهُ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ عَلَيْهِ عِلْكاً قَالَ« لاَ وَلاَ يَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ مَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَخْذِهِ عَنْهُ عِنْدَ اَلْوُضُوءِ وَ لاَ يَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهِ مَا لاَ يَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ اَلْمَاءُ».
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Sa’id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar Al-Sabati, who said:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked about a man whose nail breaks - can he put glue on it? Imam عليه السلام said: "No. He should not put anything on it except what can be removed at the time of wudu. He must not apply anything that prevents water from reaching it."
