Al-Kāfi - The Book of Taharat (Cleansing) Chapter: One’s having Little Water on a Journey but Is Afraid of Facing Thirst 1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْ٠ُغِيرَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلا٠) فِي رَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فِي السَّفَرِ وَلَيْسَ ٠َاءٌ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ وَخَافَ إِنْ هُوَ اغْتَسَلَ أَنْ يَعْطَشَ قَالَ إِنْ خَافَ عَطَشاً فَلاَ يُهَرِيقُ ٠ِنْهُ قَطْرَةً وَلْيَتَيَ٠ْ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَإِنَّ الصَّعِيدَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ.

He (the Imam) said, ‘If he is afraid of facing thirst, he must spill not even one drop; he must take Tayammum with soil; soil is more dear to me” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/181))
