ahmad:18315Abū Bakr b. ʿAyyāsh > Abū Isḥāq > Nājiyah al-ʿAnazī

[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."  

أحمد:١٨٣١٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ الْعَنَزِيِّ قَالَ تَدَارَأَ عَمَّارٌ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فِي التَّيَمُّمِ فَقَالَ

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 ؟
