The Sufficient (Vol 3) · Hadith 58 (#Ḥadīth #3)

3ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْكَاهِلِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ أَمُرُّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَيَسِيلُ عَلَيَّ الْمِيزَابُ فِي أَوْقَاتٍ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ قَالَ قَالَ لَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ لاَ تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُ قُلْتُ وَيَسِيلُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ مَاءِ الْمَطَرِ أَرَى فِيهِ التَّغَيُّرَ وَأَرَى فِيهِ آثَارَ الْقَذَرِ فَتَقْطُرُ الْقَطَرَاتُ عَلَيَّ وَيَنْتَضِحُ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ وَالْبَيْتُ يُتَوَضَّأُ عَلَى سَطْحِهِ فَيَكِفُ عَلَى ثِيَابِنَا قَالَ مَا بِذَا بَأْسٌ لاَ تَغْسِلْهُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَرَاهُ مَاءُ الْمَطَرِ فَقَدْ طَهُرَ.

3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Kahiliy from a man who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘I sometimes, pass by and water from a drain-shoot falls on me. At such time, I know, people take Wudu’. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful. You do not need to ask (inquire).’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What happens if rain water falls on me and I see its color is changed; there are signs of dirt with it and several drops sprinkle and fall on me, while on the roof of the house people take Wudu’. Should we keep our clothes on us in such condition?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful. You do not need to wash your clothes. Everything and substance which has become unclean turns clean when rain falls on it.’”
