[Machine] The messenger of Allah, ﷺ , returned from relieving himself and met a man by the well of Jamel. He greeted him, but the messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did not respond to him until he reached the wall. He placed his hand on the wall, wiped his face and hands, and then returned the greeting to the man. This narration is a witness to the narration of Muhammad ibn Thabit al-Abdi, except that he included the wiping of the arms, which others did not confirm, like he and Ibn Haddad in mentioning his performing tayammum (dry ablution) and then returning the greeting. Although Dahhak ibn Uthman shortened his actions and Ibn Umar performed tayammum on his face and arms up to the elbows, this is a witness to the authenticity of the narration of Muhammad ibn Thabit without any contradiction, as Abu Abdullah al-Hafidh, Abu Abdullah al-Sulami, and Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Ushnani reported to us, narrating from Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abdus, who heard it from Uthman ibn Sa'eed al-Darimi, who said, "I asked Yahya ibn Ma'een about it, and he said, 'There is no problem with Muhammad ibn Thabit al-Abdi, this is what he said in his narration, which is not deserving of criticism based on the evidence that I mentioned.'"
