Chapter on Purification of the Body and Clothes From Impurities

عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَبُولُ بِاللَّيْلِ فَيَحْسَبُ أَنَّ اَلْبَوْلَ أَصَابَهُ فَلاَ يَسْتَيْقِنُ فَهَلْ يُجْزِيهِ أَنْ يَصُبَّ عَلَى ذَكَرِهِ إِذَا بَالَ وَ لاَ يَتَنَشَّفَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« يَغْسِلُ مَا اِسْتَبَانَ أَنَّهُ أَصَابَهُ وَ يَنْضِحُ مَا يَشُكُّ فِيهِ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ أَوْ ثِيَابِهِ وَ يَتَنَشَّفُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ».
From him, from Safwan, from Abdur-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj, who said: I asked Abu IbraHim عليه السلام about a man who urinates at night and suspects that urine may have touched him but is not certain. Is it sufficient for him to pour water over his private part after urinating without drying it? Imam عليه السلام said: "He should wash whatever he is certain has been affected and sprinkle water on whatever he doubts has been touched - whether on his body or clothes - and he should dry himself before performing wudu (ablution)."
