How tayammum was performed

ahmad:18893ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar > Yūnus > al-Zuhrī > ʿUbaydullah b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUtbah > ʿAmmār b. Yāsir

[AI] That the concession which Allah ﷻ revealed concerning clean earth—then he mentioned the hadith—except that he said that they struck their palms on the earth and wiped their faces with it once, then they returned and struck again, and wiped their hands up to the shoulders and the armpits.

أحمد:١٨٨٩٣حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ

أَنَّ الرُّخْصَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ فِي الصَّعِيدِ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّهُمْ ضَرَبُوا أَكُفَّهُمْ فِي الصَّعِيدِ، فَمَسَحُوا بِهِ وُجُوهَهُمْ مَسْحَةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّعَادُوا فَضَرَبُوا، فَمَسَحُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَنَاكِبِ وَالْآبَاطِ.
