5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Sukayn and others who has said the following
“It was said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), that so and so had smallpox and had experienced sexual relation. They gave him Ghusl (bath) which caused him to die. He (the Imam) said, ‘They killed him. Why did they not ask about giving him Tayammum? Only asking is medicine for ignorance.’” It applies also to one with broken bones and internal illness (causing discharge from the buttocks) who must do Tayammum instead of Ghusl (bath).
5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُكَيْنٍ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ فُلاَناً أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ وَهُوَ مَجْدُورٌ فَغَسَّلُوهُ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ قَتَلُوهُ أَلاَّ سَأَلُوا أَلاَّ يَمَّمُوهُ إِنَّ شِفَاءَ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالُ قَالَ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْكَسِيرِ وَالْمَبْطُونِ يَتَيَمَّمُ وَلاَ يَغْتَسِلُ.
