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 أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي اَلْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ وَصَفَ اَلتَّيَمُّمَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُمَا فَنَفَضَهُمَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ عَلَى جَبِينِهِ وَ كَفَّيْهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً.
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Abu al-Qasim Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Safwan, from Amr ibn Abi al-Miqdam:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked to described Tayammum (dry ablution). Imam عليه السلام struck his hands on the ground, then lifted them and shook them off. Imam عليه السلام then wiped his forehead and his palms with them once.
