مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُجْنِبُ هَلْ يُجْزِيهِ مِنْ غُسْلِ اَلْجَنَابَةِ أَنْ يَقُومَ فِي اَلْمَطَرِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَ رَأْسَهُ وَ جَسَدَهُ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ يَغْسِلُهُ اِغْتِسَالَهُ بِالْمَاءِ أَجْزَأَهُ ذَلِكَ».
Narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Musa ibn al-Qasim, from Ali ibn Ja'far, from his brother Imam Musa ibn Ja'far عليه السلام, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man in a state of janabah - would it suffice for him to stand in the rain until it washes his head and body, while he is able to access other means of washing? Imam عليه السلام said: "If the rain washes him in the same manner as he would perform ghusl with water, then it suffices."
