Chapter on Description of Tayammum, Its Rules for Those in a State of Impurity, and What They Should Observe About Istibra and Istizhar
وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ اَلْكِنْدِيِّ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلتَّيَمُّمُ ضَرْبَةٌ لِلْوَجْهِ وَ ضَرْبَةٌ لِلْكَفَّيْنِ».
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 Isma'il ibn Hammad al-Kindi:
Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام said: "Tayammum (dry ablution) is one strike for the face and one strike for the palms."
