Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 4
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا نَسِيَ اَلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ يَمِينَهُ فَغَسَلَ شِمَالَهُ وَ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَذَكَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ غَسَلَ يَمِينَهُ وَ شِمَالَهُ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ إِنَّمَا نَسِيَ شِمَالَهُ فَلْيَغْسِلِ اَلشِّمَالَ وَ لاَ يُعِيدُ عَلَى مَا كَانَ تَوَضَّأَ» قَالَ« وَ أَتْبِعْ وُضُوءَكَ بَعْضَهُ بَعْضاً».
Ali ibn Ibrahim narrated from his father, from Ibn Abi Umair, from Hammad, from al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "If a man forgets to wash his right hand and instead washes his left hand, wipes his head and feet, and then remembers afterward, he should wash his right hand and left hand and then wipe his head and feet again. However, if he only forgot his left hand, then let him wash his left hand, and he does not need to repeat what he had already performed in his ablution." Imam عليه السلام further said: "Let your ablution follow itself in sequence."
