Arabic text

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَجْدُورٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فَغَسَّلُوهُ فَمَاتَ قَالَ قَتَلُوهُ أَلا سَأَلُوا فَإِنَّ دَوَاءَ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالُ

Translation

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from one of our people from Abu ‘Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as): He was asked about a man who was in the state of ritual impurity (janaba), so they gave him the formal bath (ghusl) and he died. So he said, "They have killed him. So, ask, for indeed, the remedy for ignorance is asking."
