Chapter on Tayammum and Its Rules

وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ قَالَ: إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمُسَافِرُ الْمَاءَ فَلْيَطْلُبْ مَا دَامَ فِي الْوَقْتِ، فَإِذَا خَافَ أَنْ يَفُوتَهُ الْوَقْتُ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ وَلْيُصَلِّ فِي آخِرِ الْوَقْتِ، فَإِذَا وَجَدَ الْمَاءَ فَلَا قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ لِمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ.
The narration reported through this chain from Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Ibn Udhayna, from Zurara, from one of the Imams عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام said: "If a traveler does not find water, let him seek it as long as he is within the time (for prayer). If he fears that the time will elapse, then he should perform tayammum and pray at the end of the time. If he later finds water, there is no need for him to repeat the prayer, but he should perform ablution (wudu’) for future prayers."
