Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 6
عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْمُصْحَفُ لاَ تَمَسَّهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ طُهْرٍ وَلاَ جُنُباً وَ لاَ تَمَسَّ خَيْطَهُ وَ لاَ تُعَلِّقْهُ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ« لاٰ يَمَسُّهُ إِلاَّ اَلْمُطَهَّرُونَ»».
Narrated by Ali ibn al-Hasan ibn Faddal, from Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Hakim and Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Abi al-Sabbah, both from Ibrahim ibn Abdul Hamid, from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام. He said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "The Quran should not be touched without purification, nor by someone in a state of major ritual impurity (junub). Do not touch its binding thread, nor hang it up, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, says: 'None touch it except the purified' (Surah Al-Waqi'ah 56:79)."
