Chapter on Tayammum and Its Rules

مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَطَّلِي بِالنُّورَةِ فَيَجْعَلُ اَلدَّقِيقَ بِالزَّيْتِ يَلُتُّهُ بِهِ يَتَمَسَّحُ بِهِ بَعْدَ اَلنُّورَةِ لِيَقْطَعَ رِيحَهَا قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ».
The Shaykh narrated to me (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan, from Al-Husayn ibn Al-Hasan ibn Aban, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id, from Safwan, from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who uses lime paste (nura) and then applies flour mixed with oil, rubbing it on himself after using nura to remove its smell. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm in it."
