[1] Istibra is also recommend when water is not available, for example in the following Hadith: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع رَجُلٌ بَالَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُ مَاءٌ فَقَالَ يَعْصِرُ أَصْلَ ذَكَرِهِ إِلَى طَرَفِهِ ثَلَاثَ عَصَرَاتٍ وَ يَنْتُرُ طَرَفَهُ فَإِنْ خَرَجَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ مِنَ الْحَبَائِلِ Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father. from Hammad.
from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said: ‘I once asked Abu Ja’far -asws about a man who urinates but does not have water to wash it clean. He (the Imam -asws ) said, ‘He must drain his urine passageway by pressing (with his fingers), all the way to the tip (the discharge orifice), three times, to where the passageway separates from the bones (performing of the Istibra ).
Thereafter if any moisture comes out it is not urine rather it’s the moisture associated with the veins.’ [2] When extra careful, sometimes one thinks that his cloths becomes ‘Najis’ (dirty) from urine or if a splash from the WC hits one’s clothes, however, that’s not the case, as this does not make one Najis (unclean), see two Ahadith below: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ فِي قُرْبِ الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الطَّيَالِسِيِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْخَالِقِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قُلْتُ الرَّجُلُ يَبُولُ وَ يَنْتَفِضُ وَ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَجِدُ الْبَلَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً [3] إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْحَبَائِل [4] Abd Allah Ibn Jafar Al-Hameeri has narrated referring to Mohammed Ibn Khalid Al-Tayalisi, from Ismail ibn Abd Al-Khalid, who says: I asked from Abu Abd Allah -asws regarding a person who, after urinating, performs Istibra then performs Wuzu but feels some wetness, what shall he do?
Imam -asws replied: There is nothing for him (to be done), it’s the wetness from the veins of backside. [5] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنِ الْأَحْوَلِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ فَأَسْتَنْجِي بِالْمَاءِ فَيَقَعُ ثَوْبِي فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ الَّذِي اسْتَنْجَيْتُ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina, from Al Ahowl who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘I come out of the toilet, then I clean myself with the water.
