And from him (Yaqoub Al Kulayni)...

And from him (Yaqoub Al Kulayni), from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hamaad Bin Usman, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws , said, ‘I asked him -asws about the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic or you have touched the women [5:6] , he -asws said: ‘It is the copulation, but Allah -azwj is the Concealer. He -azwj Loves the secrecy, so He -azwj did not Name it like what you are naming it as’.

[4] العياشي: عن أبي بكر بن حزم، قال: توضأ رجل، فمسح على خفيه، فدخل المسجد فصلى، فجاء علي (عليه السلام) فوطئ على رقبته فقال: «ويلك، تصلي على غير وضوء؟!» فقال: أمرني عمر بن الخطاب. Al Ayyashi, from Abu Bakr Bin Hazam who said, ‘A man performed Wudu , so he wiped upon his socks, and he entered the Masjid and Prayed Salat . So Ali -asws came up and held him by the neck and said: ‘Woe be unto you! You are Praying without Wudu ?’ So he said, ‘Umar Bin Al-Khattab ordered me such’.

قال: فأخذ بيده، فانتهى به إليه، فقال: «انظر ما يروي هذا عليك» و رفع صوته، فقال: نعم أنا أمرته، إن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) مسح. قال: «قبل المائدة، أو بعدها؟» قال: لا أدري. قال: «فلم تفتي و أنت لا تدري؟ سبق الكتاب الخفين». He (the narrator said), ‘So he -asws grabbed him by his hand and ended him up to him and said: ‘Look at what he is reporting against you’ – in a raised voice. So he (Umar) said, ‘Yes, I did order him such. Rasool-Allah -saww wiped (the socks)’.

He -asws said: ‘Was that before (Revelation of Surah) Al-Ma’ida or after it?’ He said, ‘I do not know’. He -asws said: ‘So why did you issue a verdict (Fatwa) and you don’t know? (Wiping upon) the two socks was before the (Revelation) of the Book ( Surah Al Ma’ida )’. [5] عن زرارة، قال: سألت أبا جعفر (عليه السلام) عن التيمم، فقال: «إن عمار بن ياسر أتى النبي (صلى الله عليه و آله) فقال: أجنبت و ليس معي ماء. فقال: كيف صنعت يا عمار؟ قال: نزعت ثيابي، ثم تمعكت على الصعيد.

فقال: هكذا يصنع الحمار، إنما قال الله: فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْهُ. ثم وضع يديه جميعا على الصعيد، ثم مسحهما، ثم مسح من بين عينيه إلى أسفل حاجبيه، ثم دلك إحدى يديه بالأخرى على ظهر الكف، بدءا باليمين». From Zarara who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far -asws about the ‘ Tayammum ’, so he -asws said: ‘Amaar Bin Yaasir came to the Prophet -saww and said, ‘I am with sexual impurity and there is no water with me’.

So he -saww said: ‘What did you do, O Amaar?’ He said, ‘I removed my clothes and rolled upon the ground’. So he -saww said: ‘This is what the donkeys do.
