Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 8
وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَطَرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ لاَ يُصِيبُ اَلْمَاءَ وَ لاَ اَلتُّرَابَ أَ يَتَيَمَّمُ بِالطِّينِ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ صَعِيدٌ طَيِّبٌ وَ مَاءٌ طَهُورٌ».
Narrated by the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, from Abu Al-Qasim Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Sa’d ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn Matar, from some of our companions who said:
I asked Al-Ridha عليه السلام about a man who does not find water or soil, can he perform tayammum with mud? Imam said: "Yes, it is pure soil (sa’eed tayyib) and purified water (ma’un tahoor)."
