Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 4
وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْخَطَّابِ عَنِ اَلْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« إِنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَلَى اَلرَّجُلِ سِتُّونَ وَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً مَا قَبِلَ اَللَّهُ مِنْهُ صَلاَةً» قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ« لِأَنَّهُ يَغْسِلُ مَا أَمَرَ اَللَّهُ بِمَسْحِهِ».
Through the same chain of narrators, from Muhammad bin Ya‘qub, from Muhammad bin Yahya, from Muhammad bin Al-Husayn bin Abi Al-Khattab, from Al-Hakam bin Miskin, from Muhammad bin Marwan, who said:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "A man may live for sixty or seventy years, yet Allah سبحانه وتعالى does not accept a single prayer from him." I asked: "How is that?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Because he washes what Allah سبحانه وتعالى has commanded to be wiped."
