Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 8
وَأَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ تُصِيبُهُ اَلْجَنَابَةُ وَبِهِ جُرُوحٌ أَوْ قُرُوحٌ أَوْ يَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ اَلْبَرْدِ فَقَالَ« لاَ يَغْتَسِلُ وَ يَتَيَمَّمُ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Sa’d ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from Dawud ibn Sirhan:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked regarding a man who becomes junub (ritually impure) and has wounds, sores, or fears harm from the cold. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should not perform ghusl; instead, he should perform tayammum."
