[Machine] I said to 'Ammaar ibn Yaasir, "O Abu Al-Yaqdhaan, what do you think of this matter that you have brought with your opinion, or something that the Messenger of Allah has entrusted to you?" He said, "The Messenger of Allah has not entrusted us with anything that he has not entrusted to the people."  

قُلْتُ لِعَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ الَّذِي أَتَيْتُمُوهُ بِرَأْيِكُمْ أَوْ شَيْءٌ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَعْهَدْهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ  

[Machine] When the pagans complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about us, he said to us, "Respond to them as they respond to you." He said, "Indeed, I have seen us teaching the slaves of the people of Madinah."  

لَمَّا هَجَانَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ شَكَوْنَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ قُولُوا لَهُمْ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ لَكُمْ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا نُعَلِّمُهُ إِمَاءَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ  

[Machine] Abdullah, if I stayed for a month and did not find water, I would not pray, he told him. Ammar said to him, "Do you not remember when you and I were on the camels and I became impure, so I performed tayammum?". When I returned to the Messenger of Allah and informed him of what I did, he said, "Tayammum would have sufficed you indeed."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ لَوْ مَكَثْتُ شَهْرًا لَا أَجِدُ فِيهِ الْمَاءَ لَمَا صَلَّيْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمَّارٌ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ إِذْ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فِي الْإِبِلِ فَأَجْنَبْتُ فَتَمَعَّكْتُ تَمَعُّكَ الدَّابَّةِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي صَنَعْتُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ التَّيَمُّمُ ؟  

[Machine] I met Ammar on the Day of the Battle of the Camel while he was urinating in a corner. I said to him, "Shall I fight with you and be on your side?" He replied, "Fight under the banner of your own people, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to prefer that a man fight under the banner of his own people."  

لَقِيتُ عَمَّارًا يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ وَهُوَ يَبُولُ فِي قَرْنٍ فَقُلْتُ أُقَاتِلُمَعَكَ فَأَكُونُ مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ قَاتِلْ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ قَوْمِكَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ قَوْمِهِ  

'Ammar delivered to us the sermon. It was short and eloquent. When he (, Ammir) descended (from the pulpit) we said to him: 0 Abd al-Yaqzn, you have delivered a short and eloquent sermon. Would that you had lengthened (the sermon). He said: I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The lengthening of prayer by a man and the shortness of the sermon is the sign of his understanding (of faith). So lengthen the prayer and shorten the sermon, for there is charm (in precise) expression. (Using translation from Muslim 869)  

أَبُو وَائِلٍخَطَبَنَا عَمَّارٌ فَأَبْلَغَ وَأَوْجَزَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ قُلْنَا يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتَ وَأَوْجَزْتَ فَلَوْ كُنْتَ تَنَفَّسْتَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ طُولَ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَقِصَرَ خُطْبَتِهِ مَئِنَّةٌ مِنْ فِقْهِهِ فَأَطِيلُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَقْصِرُوا الْخُطْبَةَ فَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying, so I greeted him and he returned the greeting.  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ السَّلَامَ  

[Machine] Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that Yunus asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Tayammum (dry ablution), and he replied, "Strike both hands on the ground and then wipe the face." Affan said that the Prophet ﷺ used to say regarding Tayammum, "Strike the face and the hands."  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يُونُسُ إِنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ التَّيَمُّمِ فَقَالَ ضَرْبَةٌ لِلْكَفَّيْنِ وَالْوَجْهِ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي التَّيَمُّمِ ضَرْبَةٌ لِلْوَجْهِ وَالْكَفَّيْنِ  

[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying about the trials and tribulations: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that there will be people after me who will seize authority, and some of them will kill others." We said to him, "If someone else had told us this, we wouldn't have believed him." He said, "But it will surely happen."  

سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي قَوْمٌ يَأْخُذُونَ الْمُلْكَ يَقْتُلُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا قَالَ قُلْنَا لَهُ لَوْ حَدَّثَنَا غَيْرُكَ مَا صَدَّقْنَاهُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ  

[Machine] "I and Ali were companions during the Battle of Dhul-'Ushayrah. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived at the location and settled there, we noticed some people from the tribe of Mudlij working at a well in their date palm trees. Ali said to me, 'O Abu Al-Yaqzan, do you want to go to them and see what they are doing?' So we approached them and looked at their work for a while. Then sleep overcame us, so Ali and I lay down on some date palm trunks in a dusty area and fell asleep. By Allah, we were not awakened except by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who kicked us with his foot, and we had become covered in dust from that spot. On that day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Ali, 'O Abu Turab, why do you have dust on you?' He replied, 'Shall I inform you about the most miserable of people?'" We said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, "It is Uhaymir, from the people of Thamud who crippled the she-camel, and the one who will strike you, O Ali, with this," pointing to his horn, "until it marks your face."  

كُنْتُ أَنَا وَعَلِيٌّ رَفِيقَيْنِ فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الْعُشَيْرَةِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَقَامَ بِهَا رَأَيْنَا أُنَاسًا مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي عَيْنٍ لَهُمْ فِي نَخْلٍ فَقَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ نَأْتِيَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَنَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ يَعْمَلُونَ؟فَجِئْنَاهُمْ فَنَظَرْنَا إِلَى عَمَلِهِمْ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ غَشِيَنَا النَّوْمُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَعَلِيٌّ فَاضْطَجَعْنَا فِي صَوْرٍ مِنَ النَّخْلِ فِي دَقْعَاءَ مِنَ التُّرَابِ فَنِمْنَا فَوَاللهِ مَا أَهَبَّنَا إِلَّا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَرِّكُنَا بِرِجْلِهِ وَقَدْ تَتَرَّبْنَا مِنْ تِلْكَ الدَّقْعَاءِ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ يَا أَبَا تُرَابٍ لِمَا يُرَى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ التُّرَابِ قَالَ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمَا بِأَشْقَى النَّاسِ رَجُلَيْنِ؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أُحَيْمِرُ ثَمُودَ الَّذِي عَقَرَ النَّاقَةَ وَالَّذِي يَضْرِبُكَ يَا عَلِيُّ عَلَى هَذِهِ يَعْنِي قَرْنَهُ حَتَّى تُبَلَّ مِنْهُ هَذِهِ يَعْنِي لِحْيَتَهُ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped to rest at the end of the night in Uwlat Al-Jaish. His wife 'Aishah was with him and her necklace of Zifar beads [1] broke and fell. The army was detained looking for that necklace of hers until the break of the light of dawn and the people had no water with them. Abu Bakr got angry with her and said: 'You have detained the people and they do not have any water.' Then Allah the Mighty and Sublime revealed the concession allowing Tayammum with clean earth. So the Muslims got up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and struck with their hands, then they raised their hands and did not strike them together to knock off any dust, then they wiped their faces and arms up to the shoulders, and from the inner side of their of their arms up to the armpits." [1] Black and white Yemeni beads. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 314)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَرَّسَ بِأُوَلَاتِ الْجَيْشِ وَمَعَهُ عَائِشَةُ زَوْجَتُهُ فَانْقَطَعَ عِقْدٌ لَهَا مِنْ جَزْعِ ظَفَارِ فَحُبِسَ النَّاسُ ابْتِغَاءَ عِقْدِهَا ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَضَاءَ الْفَجْرُ وَلَيْسَ مَعَ النَّاسِ مَاءٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ رُخْصَةَ التَّطَهُّرِ بِالصَّعِيدِ الطَّيِّبِ فَقَامَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَضَرَبُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمُ الْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَقْبِضُوا مِنَ التُّرَابِ شَيْئًا فَمَسَحُوا بِهَا وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَنَاكِبِ وَمِنْ بُطُونِ أَيْدِيهِمْ إِلَى الْآبَاطِ وَلَا يَغْتَرُّ بِهَذَا النَّاسُ وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ إِنَّكِ لَمُبَارَكَةٌ  

[Machine] Then he sat down, and we approached him and sat beside him. Then we said to him, "You have shortened your prayers, O Abu Al-Yaqdhan." He replied, "Indeed, I hastened with them before Satan could enter upon me in them." Then he mentioned the hadith.  

ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَجَلَسْنَا عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لَهُ لَقَدْ خَفَّفْتَ رَكْعَتَيْكَ هَاتَيْنِ جِدًّا يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي بَادَرْتُ بِهِمَا الشَّيْطَانَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيَّ فِيهِمَا قَالَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] Ammaar prayed a prayer and made something permissible in it. He was asked or it was said to him, so he said, "I did not deviate from the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

صَلَّى عَمَّارٌ صَلَاةً فَجَوَّزَ فِيهَا فَسُئِلَ أَوْ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ مَا خَرَمْتُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

"Ammar bin Yasir led the people in prayer and he made the prayer short. It was as if they disliked that, so he said: 'Did I not do bowing and prostration properly?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'And I said a supplication that the Prophet ﷺ used to say:Allahumma bi 'ilmikal-ghaiba wa qudratika 'alal-khalqi ahini ma 'alimtal-hayata khairan li, wa tawaffani idha 'alimtal-wafata khairan li. Allahumma as'aluka khashyataka fil-ghaibi wash-shahadati wa as'aluka kalimatul-aqua fir-rida'i wal ghadab, wa as'alukal-qasda fil faqr wal-ghina, wa as'aluka na'iman la yanfadu wa as'aluka qurrata ainan la tanqati'u wa as'alukar-rida'i ba'dal-qada'i wa as'aluka bardal 'aishi ba'dal-mawti, wa as'aluka ladhatan-nazari ila wajhika wash-shawqa ila liqa'ika fi fitnatin mudillatin, Allahumma zayyina dizinatil-imani waj'alna hudatan muhtadin (O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive so long as You know that living is good for me and cause me to die when You know that death is better for me. O Allah, cause me to fear You in secret and in public. I ask You to make me true in speech in times of pleasure and of anger. I ask You to make me moderate in times of wealth and poverty. And I ask You for everlasting delight and joy that will never cease. I ask You to make me pleased with that which You have decreed and for an easy life after death. I ask You for the sweetness of looking upon Your face and a longing to meet You in a manner that does not entail a calamity that will bring about harm or a trial that will cause deviation. O Allah, beautify us with the adornment of faith and make us among those who guide and are rightly guided." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1306)   

عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ قَالَصَلَّى بِنَا عَمَّارٌ صَلَاةً فَأَوْجَزَ فِيهَا فَأَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ أُتِمَّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي قَدْ دَعَوْتُ فِيهِمَا بِدُعَاءٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْعُو بِهِ اللهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَكَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ فِي الْغَضَبِ وَالرِّضَا وَالْقَصْدَ فِي الْفَقْرِ وَالْغِنَى وَلَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ اللهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الْإِيمَانِ وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مَهْدِيِّينَ  

[Machine] "I and Ali ibn Abi Talib were companions in the Battle of Al-Ushayra, and we passed by men from the tribe of Mudlij who were working in their date palm trees. Then he mentioned the meaning of a hadith narrated by Isa ibn Yunus."  

كُنْتُ أَنَا وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَفِيقَيْنِ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْعُشَيْرَةِ فَمَرَرْنَا بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي نَخْلٍ لَهُمْ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, from the fitrah (natural disposition) are using the siwak (tooth stick), rinsing the mouth, sniffing water into the nose, trimming the mustache, cutting the nails, washing the joints (parts of the body that come into contact with the ground), plucking the hair under the armpits, shaving the pubic hair, and cleaning oneself with water after using the restroom."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ أَوِ الْفِطْرَةُ الْمَضْمَضَةُ وَالِاسْتِنْشَاقُ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ وَغَسْلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبِطِ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَالِاخْتِتَانُ وَالِانْتِضَاحُ  

While I was sitting between 'Abd Allah and Abu Musa, the latter said: Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, what do you think if a man becomes defiled (because of seminal omission) and does not find water for a month; should he not perform tayammum ? He replied: No, even if he does not find water for a month. Abu Musa then said: How will you do with the Qur'anic version (about tayammum) in the chapter al-Ma'idah which says: "... and you find no water, then go to clean, high ground" (5:6)? 'Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud) then said: If they (the people) are granted concession in this respect, they might perform tayammum with pure earth when water is cold. Abu Musa said: For this (reason) you forbade it ? He said: Yes. Abu Musa then said: Did you not hear what 'Ammar said to 'Umar ? (He said): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me on some errand. I had seminal emission and I did not find water. Therefore, I rolled on the ground just as an animal rolls down. I then came to the Prophet ﷺ and made a mention of that to him. He said: It would have been enough for you to do thus. Then he struck the ground with his hands and shook them off and then stuck the right hand with his left hand and his left hand with his right hand (and wiped) over his hands (up to the wrist) and wiped his face. 'Abd Allah then said to him: Did you not see that 'Umar was not satisfied with the statement of 'Ammar ? (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 321)   

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِي مُوسَى وَعَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ وَقَدْ أَجْنَبَ شَهْرًا مَا كَانَ يَتَيَمَّمُ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَوْ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ شَهْرًا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فِي سُورَةِالْمَائِدَةِ {فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا} [النساء 43] ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَوْ رُخِّصَ لَهُمْ فِي هَذَا لَأَوْشَكُوا إِذَا بَرَدَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَاءُ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمُوا الصَّعِيدَ ثُمَّ يُصَلُّوا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى إِنَّمَا كَرِهْتُمْ ذَا لِهَذَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَأَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدِ الْمَاءَ فَتَمَرَّغْتُ فِي الصَّعِيدِ كَمَا تَمَرَّغُ الدَّابَّةُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا بِصَاحِبَتِهَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ لَمْ يُجِزْ الْأَعْمَشُ الْكَفَّيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ عُمَرَ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ بِقَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ  

[Machine] I was sitting with Abdullah and Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, and Abu Musa said to Abdullah, "If a person cannot find water, should they not pray?" Abdullah replied, "No." Abu Musa then said, "Do you not remember when 'Ammaar said to Umar, 'Do you not remember when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent both of us with some camels, and I experienced janabah (major ritual impurity) and I rolled in the sand? When I returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him, he laughed and said, 'It would have been sufficient for you to do this,' and he struck his hands on the ground and wiped them and made one wiping on his face with one strike?" Abdullah replied, "No doubt, I never saw Umar satisfied with that." Abu Musa said, "How about this verse from Surah An-Nisa, 'And if you do not find water, then seek clean earth.'?" Abdullah replied, "Abdullah did not know what to say, and he said, 'If we allowed them to perform Tayammum (dry ablution) in such a situation, one of them might not perform Tayammum if water dripped on their skin.' Affaan said, 'Yahya, the son of Sa'id, disagreed with him.' So I asked Hafs bin Ghiyyath, who said, 'Al-A'mash narrated to us from Salamah bin Kuhail, who mentioned Abu Wa'il.'"

كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى لِعَبْدِ اللهِ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَا فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى أَمَا تَذْكُرُ إِذْ قَالَ عَمَّارٌ لِعُمَرَ أَلَا تَذْكُرُ إِذْ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِيَّاكَ فِي إِبِلٍ فَأَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ فَتَمَرَّغْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرْتُهُ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَضَرَبَ بِكَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ كَفَّيْهِ جَمِيعًا وَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ مَسْحَةً وَاحِدَةً بِضَرْبَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَا جَرَمَ مَا رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ قَنَعَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى فَكَيْفَ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فِي سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ {فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًاطَيِّبًا} [النساء 43] ؟ قَالَ فَمَا دَرَى عَبْدُ اللهِ مَا يَقُولُ وَقَالَ لَوْ رَخَّصْنَا لَهُمْ فِي التَّيَمُّمِ لَأَوْشَكَ أَحَدُهُمْ إِنْ بَرَدَ الْمَاءُ عَلَى جِلْدِهِ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ قَالَ عَفَّانُ وَأَنْكَرَهُ يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ فَسَأَلْتُ حَفْصَ بْنَ غِيَاثٍ فَقَالَ كَانَ الْأَعْمَشُ يُحَدِّثُنَا بِهِ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ وَذَكَرَ أَبَا وَائِلٍ  

[Machine] Abdullah, yes, if we do not find water for a month, we will not pray even if I have given permission to them for this. When one of them finds cold water, he says, "This is enough," meaning he performs Tayammum and prays. So I said to him, "Where is the statement of 'Ammar to 'Umar?" He said, "I did not see 'Umar satisfied with the statement of 'Ammar."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ نَعَمْ إِنْ لَمْ نَجِدِ الْمَاءَ شَهْرًا لَمْ نُصَلِّ وَلَوْ رَخَّصْتُ لَهُمْ فِي هَذَا كَانَ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُهُمُ الْبَرْدَ قَالَ هَكَذَا يَعْنِي تَيَمَّمَ وَصَلَّى قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَأَيْنَ قَوْلُ عَمَّارٍ لِعُمَرَ؟ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ عُمَرَ قَنَعَ بِقَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ  

When ʿAli sent ʿAmmar and Al-Hasan to (the people of) Kufa to urge them to fight, ʿAmmar addressed them saying, "I know that she (i.e. ʿAisha) is the wife of the Prophet ﷺ in this world and in the Hereafter (world to come), but Allah has put you to test, whether you will follow Him (i.e. Allah) or her." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3772)  

لَمَّا بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ عَمَّارًا وَالْحَسَنَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ لِيَسْتَنْفِرَاهُمْ فَخَطَبَ عَمَّارٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا زَوْجَتُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ ابْتَلَاكُمْ لِتَتَّبِعُوهُ أَوْ إِيَّاهَا  

A man came to 'Umar bin khattab and said: "I became impure following sexual emission and cannot find any water." 'Umar said to him: "Do not pray." But 'Ammar bin Yasir said: "Do you not remember, O Commander of the Believers, when you and I were on a military expedition and we became sexually impure and could not find water? As for you, you did not pray, but I rolled in the dust and then prayed. When I came to the Prophet and told him what had happened, he said: 'It would have been enough for you (to do this).' (Then demonstrating) the Prophet struck the ground with his hands, then blew on hem, and wiped his face and palms with them." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 569)   

عَمَّارٌ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَجْنَبْنَا فَلَمْ نَجِدْ مَاءً فَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَتَمَعَّكْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَصَلَّيْتُ فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ وَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فِيهَا وَمَسَحَ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ  

[Machine] Omar, yes I will give you what you have asked for.  

عُمَرُ بَلَى نُوَلِّيكَ مَاتَوَلَّيْتَ  

[Machine] I was sitting with Abdullah and Abu Musa when Abu Musa said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, if a person avoids [using water] and does not find water, can he still pray?" He replied, "No." Abu Musa then asked, "Have you not heard the statement of Ammar to Umar? He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me with you and I could not find water, so I performed tayammum and then we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him. He said, 'It would have been sufficient for you to do this,' and he wiped his face and hands once." Abu Musa then said, "I did not see Umar satisfied with that." Abu Musa asked, "So what do you do with this verse: 'But if you cannot find water, then seek clean earth and wipe your faces and your hands [therewith].'" (Quran, 4:43) Abu Abdur Rahman replied, "If we were to allow that for them, then one of them, when he finds cold water, would wipe on the earth." Al-A'mash said, "I said to my brother, 'He only dislikes it for this reason.'"  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَبِي مُوسَى فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّجُلُ يُجْنِبُ وَلَا يَجِدُ الْمَاءَ أَيُصَلِّي ؟ قَالَ لَاقَالَ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ قَوْلَ عَمَّارٍ لِعُمَرَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَنِي أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فَأَجْنَبْتُ فَتَمَعَّكْتُ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ هَكَذَا وَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ عُمَرَ قَنَعَ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا} [النساء 43] ؟ قَالَ إِنَّا لَوْ رَخَّصْنَا لَهُمْ فِي هَذَا كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ إِذَا وَجَدَ الْمَاءَ الْبَارِدَ تَمَسَّحَ بِالصَّعِيدِ قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ فَقُلْتُ لِشَقِيقٍ فَمَا كَرِهَهُ إِلَّا لِهَذَا
