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 مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلتَّيَمُّمِ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدَيْهِ اَلْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُمَا فَنَفَضَهُمَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا جَبْهَتَهُ وَ كَفَّيْهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً
Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Bukayr, from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Ja'far عليه السلام about 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.
