وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ يُصِيبُنَا اَلدَّمَقُ وَ اَلثَّلْجُ وَ نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَتَوَضَّأَ وَ لاَ نَجِدُ إِلاَّ مَاءً جَامِداً فَكَيْفَ أَتَوَضَّأُ أَدْلُكُ بِهِ جِلْدِي قَالَ« نَعَمْ».
Narrated through this chain from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Uthman ibn Isa, from Mu’awiyah ibn Shurayh, who said:
A man asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام while I was present: "We encounter frost and snow and wish to perform ablution, but we find only frozen water. How should we perform ablution? Should we rub it on our skin?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes."
