Arabic text

وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ اَلشَّحَّامِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْخَفْقَةِ وَ اَلْخَفْقَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ« مَا أَدْرِي مَا اَلْخَفْقَةِ وَ اَلْخَفْقَتَيْنِ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ« بَلِ اَلْإِنْسٰانُ عَلىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ» إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ« مَنْ وَجَدَ طَعْمَ اَلنَّوْمِ فَإِنَّمَا أُوجِبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْوُضُوءُ»».

Translation

And through the same chain of transmission, from Al-Husayn bin Sa‘id, from Fadalah, from Husayn bin ‘Uthman, from ‘Abdul-Rahman bin Al-Hajjaj, from Zayd Al-Shahham, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a light doze or two. Imam (a.s) said, "I do not know what is meant by a ‘light doze or two’. Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'But man, against himself, will be a witness' (Surah Al-Qiyamah 75:14). And Imam Ali (a.s) used to say, 'Whoever feels the sensation of sleep, then ablution (wudu’) is obligatory upon him.'"
