4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فَقَالَ رُبَّمَا بُلْتُ وَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَيَشْتَدُّ عَلَيَّ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِذَا بُلْتَ وَتَمَسَّحْتَ فَامْسَحْ ذَكَرَكَ بِرِيقِكَ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ شَيْئاً فَقُلْ هَذَا مِنْ ذَاكَ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hanan ibn Sadir who has said the following: “Once a man asked abu ‘Abd Allah , saying, ‘At times when I urinate, I cannot find water and it becomes severe for me . 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘When you urinate and wipe it clean, you can then wipe your penis with saliva; and if you find something then say it is of that (moisture from passageways and veins).”
