Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 4
وَ اَلْخَبَرُ اَلَّذِي رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مَسْحِ اَلرَّأْسِ قُلْتُ أَمْسَحُ بِمَا فِي يَدِي مِنَ اَلنَّدَى رَأْسِي قَالَ« لاَ بَلْ تَضَعُ يَدَكَ فِي اَلْمَاءِ ثُمَّ تَمْسَحُ».
Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id narrated from Hammad, from Shu‘ayb, from Abu Basir, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about wiping the head. I said: 'Should I wipe my head with the remaining moisture in my hand?' Imam عليه السلام replied: 'No, rather you should place your hand in the water and then wipe.'"
