فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ سِنَانٍ وَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى جَمِيعاً عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ اَلْمُرَادِيِّ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْكَرِيمِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ اَلْكُوفِيِّ اَلْهَاشِمِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَبُولُ وَ لَمْ يَمَسَّ يَدَهُ اَلْيُمْنَى شَيْءٌ أَ يُدْخِلُهَا فِي وَضُوئِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْسِلَهَا قَالَ« لاَ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهَا» قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ اِسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ وَ لَمْ يَبُلْ أَ يُدْخِلُ يَدَهُ فِي وَضُوئِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْسِلَهَا قَالَ« لاَ لِأَنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي حَيْثُ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ فَلْيَغْسِلْهَا».
As for what was narrated by Al-Husayn bin Sa'id, from Ibn Sinan and Uthman bin Isa, both of them from Ibn Muskan, from Layth Al-Muradi (Abu Basir), from Abdul Karim bin Utbah Al-Kufi Al-Hashimi, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who urinates, and his right hand does not touch anything - can he place it into his wudu (ablution water) before washing it? Imam عليه السلام said: 'No, not until he washes it.' I asked: 'What if he wakes up from sleep and has not urinated - can he place his hand into his wudu before washing it?' Imam عليه السلام said: 'No, because he does not know where his hand spent the night. He should wash it first.'
