[Machine] Ammar bin Yasir, O Amir al-Mu'minin, do you remember when you and I were in an expedition and you and I refrained from performing ablution? As for you, you did not perform the prayer, but as for me, I rolled in the dust. Then we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned it to him. He ﷺ said, "O Ammar, it would have been sufficient for you to say so." And he struck his hands on the ground, then he blew into them and wiped his face and hands. Then he said, "Salama, is it sufficient for the two arms or not?" He (Salama) said, "I don't know if it reached the two elbows or not." Umar said to him, "Fear Allah." Ammar said, "If you wish, O Amir al-Mu'minin, I will not mention it, for Allah has given you the right that I should not speak of it." Umar said to him, "No, we will give you what you are entitled to." And Abu Bakr bin Furak informed us that Abdullah bin Ja'far narrated to us that Yunus bin Habib narrated to us from Abu Dawood al-Tayalisi who narrated from Shu'bah who narrated from Salama bin Kuhayl that he said, "I heard Dharr narrating from Ibn Abd al-Rahman bin Abza, and he mentioned it." Shu'bah said, then Salama hesitated and did not mention whether it reached the palms of the hands or not, or the elbows.
