مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلرَّيَّانِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِنَّهُ نُهِيَ أَنْ يَبُولَ اَلرَّجُلُ فِي اَلْمَاءِ اَلْجَارِي إِلاَّ مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ» وَ قَالَ« إِنَّ لِلْمَاءِ أَهْلاً».

Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام said: 'It has been forbidden for a man to urinate in running water except out of necessity.' And Imam عليه السلام said: 'Water (also) has inhabitants.'
