عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ:« إِذَا اِسْتَنْجَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُوتِرْ بِهَا وَتْراً إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنِ اَلْمَاءُ».
From him, from Muhammad bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Zurara, from Isa bin Abdullah, from his father, from his grandfather, from Imam Ali عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family) said: 'When one of you performs istinja (cleansing), let it be an odd number if water is not available.'
