7. Tayammum (Dry Ablution)

٧۔ كتاب التيمم

7.3 The performance of Tayammum by a non-traveller (is permissible) when water is not available and when one is afraid that the time of Salat (prayer) may elapse

٧۔٣ باب التَّيَمُّمِ فِي الْحَضَرِ، إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ، وَخَافَ فَوْتَ الصَّلاَةِ

[Machine] And Ata said regarding it. Al-Hasan also said: When the water is near the sick person and he does not find anyone to help him perform ablution, he may do Tayammum (dry ablution). Ibn Umar approached from his land on a hill, and the Asr prayer was approaching. He performed ablution with Marbad al-Na'am (a type of sand), then entered the city, and the sun was high and he did not repeat the prayer.

وَبِهِ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ. وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ فِي الْمَرِيضِ عِنْدَهُ الْمَاءُ وَلاَ يَجِدُ مَنْ يُنَاوِلُهُ يَتَيَمَّمُ. وَأَقْبَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ بِالْجُرُفِ، فَحَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ بِمَرْبَدِ النَّعَمِ فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ فَلَمْ يُعِدْ.

The Prophet ﷺ came from the direction of Bir Jamal. A man met him and greeted him. But he did not return back the greeting till he went to a (mud) wall and wiped his face and hands with its dust (performed Tayammum) and then returned back the greeting.  

البخاري:٣٣٧حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

أَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَسَارٍ مَوْلَى مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي جُهَيْمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْجُهَيْمِ أَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ نَحْوِ بِئْرِ جَمَلٍ فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْجِدَارِ فَمَسَحَ بِوَجْهِهِ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ
