Chapter on the Description of Ablution (Wudu)

وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَوَضَّأَ وَ نَسِيَ أَنْ يَمْسَحَ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى قَامَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ قَالَ« يَنْصَرِفُ وَ يَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُ».
Through the same chain of transmission, from Ṣafwan, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who performed ablution (Wuduʾ) but forgot to wipe his head until he stood in prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should leave the prayer, wipe his head, and then repeat the prayer."
