مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ حَدِّ اَلْوَجْهِ اَلَّذِي يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يُوَضَّأَ اَلَّذِي قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَالَ« اَلْوَجْهُ اَلَّذِي أَمَرَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِغَسْلِهِ اَلَّذِي لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَزِيدَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لاَ يَنْقُصَ مِنْهُ إِنْ زَادَ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يُؤْجَرْ وَ إِنْ نَقَصَ مِنْهُ أَثِمَ مَا دَارَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّبَّابَةُ وَ اَلْوُسْطَى وَ اَلْإِبْهَامُ مِنْ قُصَاصِ شَعْرِ اَلرَّأْسِ إِلَى اَلذَّقَنِ وَ مَا جَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلْإِصْبَعَانِ مِنَ اَلْوَجْهِ مُسْتَدِيراً فَهُوَ مِنَ اَلْوَجْهِ وَ مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ» قُلْتُ اَلصُّدْغُ لَيْسَ مِنَ اَلْوَجْهِ قَالَ« لاَ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah (swt) support him, narrated to me from Abu Al-Qasim Ja‘far bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Ya‘qub, from Ali bin Ibrahim, from his father, and from Muhammad bin Isma‘il, from Al-Fadl bin Shadhan, all from Hammad bin Isa, from Hariz, from Zurarah, who said: I said to Imam (a.s): "Tell me about the boundary of the face that should be washed, as Allah (swt), the Exalted, has commanded." Imam (a.s) said: "The face that Allah (swt), the Exalted, has commanded to be washed - such that no one should add to it or reduce from it - if one adds to it, he will not be rewarded, and if he reduces from it, he will be sinful. It is what the forefinger, middle finger, and thumb encircle, extending from the hairline of the head to the chin, and what the two fingers encompass in a circular motion from the face is part of the face. Anything beyond that is not part of the face." I asked: "Is the temple not part of the face?" Imam (a.s) said: "No."
