Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 4
وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْكَرِيمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَ قَالَ:« إِذَا شَكَكْتَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلْوُضُوءِ وَقَدْ دَخَلْتَ فِي غَيْرِهِ فَلَيْسَ شَكُّكَ بِشَيْءٍ إِنَّمَا اَلشَّكُّ إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي شَيْءٍ لَمْ تَجُزْهُ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Sa’d ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from Abdul Karim ibn Amr, from Abdullah ibn Abi Ya’fur, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "If you have doubt regarding anything from the ablution after you have moved on to something else, then your doubt is of no significance. Doubt only matters when you are still engaged in something and have not yet completed it."
