Once we were traveling with the Prophet ﷺ and we carried on traveling till the last part of the night and then we (halted at a place) and slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveler in the last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that made us to wake up and the first to wake up was so and so, then so and so and then so and so (the narrator ʿAuf said that Abu Raja' had told him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to wake up was ʿUmar bin Al- Khattab. And whenever the Prophet ﷺ used to sleep, nobody would wake up him till he himself used to get up as we did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep. So, ʿUmar got up and saw the condition of the people, and he was a strict man, so he said, "Allahu Akbar" and raised his voice with Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet ﷺ got up because of it. When he got up, the people informed him about what had happened to them. He said, "There is no harm (or it will not be harmful). Depart!" So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the Prophet ﷺ stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So he performed the ablution and the call for the prayer was pronounced and he led the people in prayer. After he finished from the prayer, he saw a man sitting aloof who had not prayed with the people. He asked, "O so and so! What has prevented you from praying with us?" He replied, "I am Junub and there is no water. " The Prophet ﷺ said, "Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you." Then the Prophet ﷺ proceeded on and the people complained to him of thirst. Thereupon he got down and called a person (the narrator ʿAuf added that Abu Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and ʿAli, and ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water and met a woman who was sitting on her camel between two bags of water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She replied, "I was there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are behind me." They requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?" They said, "To Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." She said, "Do you mean the man who is called the Sabi, (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the same person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet ﷺ and narrated the whole story. He said, "Help her to dismount." The Prophet ﷺ asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured some water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and opened the small ones and the people were called upon to drink and water their animals. So they all watered their animals and they (too) all quenched their thirst and also gave water to others and last of all the Prophet ﷺ gave a pot full of water to the person who was Junub and told him to pour it over his body. The woman was standing and watching all that which they were doing with her water. By Allah, when her water bags were returned the looked like as if they were more full (of water) than they had been before (Miracle of Messenger of Allah ﷺ) Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered us to collect something for her; so dates, flour and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in a piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth full of foodstuff was also placed in front of her and then the Prophet ﷺ said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given water to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "O so and so what has delayed you?" She said, "A strange thing! Two men met me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such and such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between this and this (gesturing with her index and middle fingers raising them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is Allah's true Apostle." Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but never touched her village. One day she said to her people, "I think that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any inclination to Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam. Abu ʿAbdullah said: The word Saba'a means "The one who has deserted his old religion and embraced a new religion." Abul 'Ailya [??] said, "The SʿAbis are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the Book of Psalms." (Using translation from Bukhārī 344)

That they were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. They travelled the whole night, and when dawn approached, they took a rest and sleep overwhelmed them till the sun rose high in the sky. The first to get up was Abu Bakr. Messenger of Allah ﷺs used not to be awakened from his sleep, but he would wake up by himself. ʿUmar woke up and then Abu Bakr sat by the side of the Prophet's head and started saying: Allahu-Akbar raising his voice till the Prophet ﷺ woke up, (and after traveling for a while) he dismounted and led us in the morning prayer. A man amongst the people failed to join us in the prayer. When the Prophet ﷺ had finished the prayer, he asked (the man), "O so-and-so! What prevented you from offering the prayer with us?" He replied, "I am Junub," Alllah's Apostle ordered him to perform Tayammam with clean earth. The man then offered the prayer. Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered me and a few others to go ahead of him. We had become very thirsty. While we were on our way (looking for water), we came across a lady (riding an animal), hanging her legs between two water-skins. We asked her, "Where can we get water?" She replied, "Oh ! There is no water." We asked, "how far is your house from the water?" She replied, "A distance of a day and a night travel." We said, "Come on to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "She asked, "What is Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" So we brought her to Messenger of Allah ﷺ against her will, and she told him what she had told us before and added that she was the mother of orphans. So the Prophet ﷺ ordered that her two water-skins be brought and he rubbed the mouths of the water-skins. As we were thirsty, we drank till we quenched our thirst and we were forty men. We also filled all our waterskins and other utensils with water, but we did not water the camels. The waterskin was so full that it was almost about to burst. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Bring what (foodstuff) you have." So some dates and pieces of bread were collected for the lady, and when she went to her people, she said, "I have met either the greatest magician or a prophet as the people claim." So Allah guided the people of that village through that lady. She embraced Islam and they all embraced Islam. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3571)   

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرٍ فَأَدْلَجُوا لَيْلَتَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فِي وَجْهِ الصُّبْحِ عَرَّسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَغَلَبَتْهُمْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ لَا يُوقِظُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ عُمَرُ فَقَعَدَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَجَعَلَ يُكَبِّرُ وَيَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْقَظَ رَأَى الشَّمْسَ قَدْ بَزَغَتْ قَالَ ارْتَحِلُوا فَسَارَ بِنَا حَتَّى ابْيَضَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَنَزَلَ فَصَلَّى فَاعْتَزَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ مَعَنْا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ يَا فُلَانُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّي مَعَنْا؟ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا أَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ بِالصَّعِيدِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَعَجَّلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي رُكُوبٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِطَلَبِ الْمَاءِ وَكُنَّا قَدْ عَطِشْنَا عَطَشًا شَدِيدًا فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِامْرَأَةٍ سَادِلَةٍ رِجْلَيْهَا بَيْنَ مَزَادَتَيْنِ فَقُلْنَا لَهَا أَيْنَ الْمَاءُ؟ فَقَالَتْ أَيْهَاتَ أَيْهَاتَ لَا مَاءَ فَقُلْنَا كَمْ بَيْنَ أَهْلِكِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَاءِ؟ قَالَتْ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ قُلْنَا انْطَلِقِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ وَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ فَلَمْ نُمَلِّكْهَا مِنْ أَمْرِهَا شَيْئًا حَتَّى اسْتَقْبَلَنَا بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَدَّثَتْهُ بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي حَدَّثَتْنَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهَا مُؤْتِمَةٌ فَأَمَرَ بِمَزَادَتَيْهَا فَمَجَّ فِي الْعَزْلَاوَيْنِ الْعُلْيَاوَيْنِ فَشَرِبْنَا عِطَاشًا أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى رَوِينَا وَمَلَأْنَا كُلَّ قِرْبَةٍ مَعَنَا وَإِدَاوَةٍ وَغَسَّلْنَا صَاحِبَنَا غَيْرَ أَنَّا لَمْ نَسْقِ بَعِيرًا وَهِيَ تَكَادُ تَبِضُّ مِنَ الْمَلْأِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَنَا هَاتُوا مَا عِنْدَكُمْ فَجَعَلْنَا لَهَا مِنَ الْكِسَرِ وَالتَّمْرِ حَتَّى صَرَّ لَهَا صُرَّةً فَقَالَ لَهَا اذْهَبِي فَأَطْعِمِي هَذَا عِيَالَكَ وَاعْلَمِي أَنَّا لَمْ نَزْرَأْ مِنْ مَائِكِ شَيْئًا فَلَمَّا أَتَتْ أَهْلَهَا قَالَتْ لَقِيتُ أَسْحَرَ النَّاسِ أَوْ هُوَ نَبِيٌّ كَمَا زَعَمُوا فَهَدَى اللهُ ذَلِكَ الصِّرْمَ بِتِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ فَأَسْلَمَتْ وَأَسْلَمُوا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the man, "What prevented you from praying?" The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I had a state of sexual impurity." The Prophet said, "Perform dry ablution (tayammum) with clean earth. Then, when you finish, pray. And when you find water, perform the full ablution (ghusl)." And they mentioned the hadith.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ؟ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ قَالَ فَتَيَمَّمْ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَصَلِّ فَإِذَا أَدْرَكْتَ الْمَاءَ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَذَكَرُوا الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] Ammaar said, "I was traveling on camels when I experienced a state of impurity and I couldn't find water. So, I performed tayammum, as animals do, and then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about it. He said, "Only tayammum was sufficient for you in that situation, using the earth. When you have access to water, then perform the ritual cleaning (ghusl)."  

وَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ كُنْتُ فِي الْإِبِلِ فَأَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلَى الْمَاءِ فَتَمَعَّكْتُ كَمَا تَتَمَعَّكُ يَعْنِي الدَّوَابَّ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ التَّيَمُّمُ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَإِذَا قَدَرْتَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ اغْتَسَلْتَ  

A few goats got collected with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Abu Dharr, drive them to the wood. I drove them to Rabadhah (a place near Medina). I would have sexual defilement (during my stay there) and I would remain (in this condition) for five or six days. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: O Abu Dharr. I kept silence. He then said: May your mother bereave you, Abu Dharr: woe be to your mother. He then called a black slave-girl for me. She brought a vessel which contained water. She then concealed me by drawing a curtain and I concealed myself behind a she-camel, and took a bath. I felt as if I had thrown away a mountain from me. He said: Clean earth is a means for ablution for a Muslim, even for ten years (he does not find water); but when you find water, you should make it touch your skin, for that is better. The version of Musaddad has: "the goats (were collected) from the alms," and the tradition reported by 'Amr is complete. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 332)
