وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ وَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ وَ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي أَرْضٍ بَارِدَةٍ فَتَخَوَّفَ إِنْ هُوَ اِغْتَسَلَ أَنْ يُصِيبَهُ عَنَتٌ مِنَ اَلْغُسْلِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ« يَغْتَسِلُ وَ إِنْ أَصَابَهُ مَا أَصَابَهُ» قَالَ وَ ذَكَرَ« أَنَّهُ كَانَ وَجِعاً شَدِيدَ اَلْوَجَعِ فَأَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ وَ هُوَ فِي مَكَانٍ بَارِدٍ وَ كَانَتْ لَيْلَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ اَلرِّيحِ بَارِدَةٌ فَدَعَوْتُ اَلْغِلْمَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمُ اِحْمِلُونِي فَاغْسِلُونِي فَقَالُوا إِنَّا نَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ لَيْسَ بُدٌّ فَحَمَلُونِي وَ وَضَعُونِي عَلَى خَشَبَاتٍ ثُمَّ صَبُّوا عَلَيَّ اَلْمَاءَ فَغَسَلُونِي».
And the Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, informed me from Abu Ja‘far Muhammad ibn Ali, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, from Sa‘d ibn ‘Abdullah and Ahmad ibn Idris, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, and Hammad ibn ‘Isa, from Shu‘ayb, from Abu Basir, and Fadala from Husayn ibn ‘Uthman, from Ibn Muskan, from ‘Abdullah ibn Sulayman, all of them from Abu ‘Abdullah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a man who was in a cold land and feared harm from performing ghusl. What should he do? Imam عليه السلام said: "He must perform ghusl, even if harm befalls him." He (Narrator) then mentioned: "I was severely ill, and janabah occurred to me while I was in a cold place during a severely windy and cold night. I called upon my attendants and said to them, 'Carry me and wash me.' They replied, 'We fear harm for you.' (from the cold). I told them: 'It is inevitable.' So, they carried me, placed me on wooden planks, poured water over me, and washed me."
