Chapter on Obligatory and Recommended Ritual Washing

Ali ibn Muhammad narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali, from some of our companions, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام: 'If a deceased person and someone in a state of janabah are in the same place, and there is only enough water for one of them, who should be given priority for its use?' Imam عليه السلام عليه السلام said: 'The one in janabah performs tayammum, and the deceased is washed with the water.'"
