bayhaqi:1038Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ And ʾAbū Saʿīd b. Abū ʿAmr > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > Usayd b. ʿĀṣim > al-Ḥasan b. Ḥafṣ > Sufyān / al-Thawrī > al-Muthanná b. al-Ṣabbāḥ > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb > Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] An Arab came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "We are often in the desert, and we have women who are menstruating, in a state of sexual impurity, and experiencing post-natal bleeding. There are four months when we cannot find water." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Use the sand for purification, meaning perform Tayammum. This hadith is known through the narration of Al-Muthanna ibn As-Sabbaah from Amr, and Al-Muthanna is not considered strong and reliable."  

البيهقي:١٠٣٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أُسَيْدُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ يَعْنِي الثَّوْرِيَّ عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّا نَكُونُ فِي الرَّمْلِ وَفِينَا الْحَائِضُ وَالْجُنُبُ وَالنُّفَسَاءُ فَيَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ لَا نَجْدِ الْمَاءَ قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِالتُّرَابِ يَعْنِي التَّيَمُّمَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ يُعْرَفُ بِالْمُثَنَّى ابْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَالْمُثَنَّى غَيْرُ قَوِّيٍّ وَقَدْ  

رَوَاهُ الْحَجَّاجُ ابْنُ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو إِلَّا أَنَّهُ خَالَفَهُ فِي الْإِسْنَادِ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَاخْتَصَرَ الْمَتْنَ فَجَعَلَ السُّؤَالَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ أَيُجَامِعُ أَهْلَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ
