Chapter on Tayammum and Its Rules

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ لاَ يَجِدُ اَلْمَاءَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى ثُمَّ أَتَى اَلْمَاءَ وَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ اَلْوَقْتِ أَ يَمْضِي عَلَى صَلاَتِهِ أَمْ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَ يُعِيدُ اَلصَّلاَةَ قَالَ« يَمْضِي عَلَى صَلاَتِهِ فَإِنَّ رَبَّ اَلْمَاءِ هُوَ رَبُّ اَلتُّرَابِ».
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub narrated from al-‘Abbas ibn Ma‘ruf, from ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mughira, from Mu‘awiyah ibn Maysarah, who said: I asked Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام about a man in travel who does not find water, then prays, and later finds water while there is still some time left (for the prayer). Should he proceed with his prayer, or should he perform wudu' and repeat the prayer? Imam عليه السلام said: "He proceeds with his prayer, for the Lord of water is also Lord of dust."
