A Person Who Performed Tayammum and Was Cured During Prayer

Question
What is the ruling for someone who began praying with tayammum due to illness, then was cured while in prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: His tayammum is invalid, and he should perform ablution and repeat the prayer; because the ability to use water nullifies the tayammum even if he is in prayer. Refer to: Al-Hadiyah Al-Ala'iyah p. 38, and Sharh Al-Ziyadat vol. 3/part A, and God knows best.
