A man came to 'Umar bin khattab and said: "I became impure following sexual emission and cannot find any water." 'Umar said to him: "Do not pray." But 'Ammar bin Yasir said: "Do you not remember, O Commander of the Believers, when you and I were on a military expedition and we became sexually impure and could not find water? As for you, you did not pray, but I rolled in the dust and then prayed. When I came to the Prophet and told him what had happened, he said: 'It would have been enough for you (to do this).' (Then demonstrating) the Prophet struck the ground with his hands, then blew on hem, and wiped his face and palms with them." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 569)

A man came to ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab and said, "I became Junub but no water was available." ʿAmmar bin Yasir said to ʿUmar, "Do you remember that you and I (became Junub while both of us) were together on a journey and you didn't pray but I rolled myself on the ground and prayed? I informed the Prophet ﷺ about it and he said, 'It would have been sufficient for you to do like this.' The Prophet then stroked lightly the earth with his hands and then blew off the dust and passed his hands over his face and hands."

I am (at times) affected by seminal emission but find no water. He ('Umar) told him not to say prayer. 'Ammar then said. Do you remember,0 Commander of the Faithful, when I and you were in a military detachment and we had had a seminal emission and did not find water (for taking bath) and you did not say prayer, but as for myself I rolled in dust and said prayer, and (when it was mentioned before) the Apostle ﷺ said: It was enough for you to strike the ground with your hands and then blow (the dust) and then wipe your face and palms. Umar said: 'Ammar, fear Allah. He said: If you so like, I would not narrate it. A hadith like this has been transmitted with the same chain of transmitters but for the words: 'Umar said: We hold you responsible for what you claim."

Salamah mentioned something in this chain from Abu Malik, and Salamah added that he said: "Rather, we will let you bear the burden of what you tool upon yourself."

But 'Ammar bin Yasir said: "Do you not remember, O Commander of the Believers, when you and I were on a military expedition and we became sexually impure and could not find water? As for you, you did not pray, but I rolled in the dust and then prayed. When I came to the Prophet and told him what had happened, he said: 'It would have been enough for you (to do this).' (Then demonstrating) the Prophet struck the ground with his hands, then blew on hem, and wiped his face and palms with them." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 569)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٢٩٩أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ذرٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أتى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدِ الْمَاءَ قَالَ لَا تُصَلِّ فَقَالَ

عَمَّارٌ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَتَذْكُرُ إِذْ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَجْنَبْنَا فَلَمْ نَجِدْ المَاءً فَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَتَمَعَّكْتُ بالتُّرَابِ فصَلَّيْتُ فَأَتَيْنَا النبي ﷺ فذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ» وَضَرَبَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فَمَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ شَكَّ سَلَمَةُ فلَا أَدْرِي فِيهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ أَوْ إِلَى الْكَفَّيْنِ فقَالَ عُمَرُ نُوَلِّيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ

[Machine] Ammar ibn Yasir to Umar ibn Al-Khattab, do you not remember that we were on a journey and you and I were considered strangers? As for you, you did not perform prayer, but as for me, I was in a state of janabah (impurity), so I performed prayer. Then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned this to him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "It was sufficient for you to do as you did." Then the Prophet ﷺ struck the ground with his hands, blew into them, wiped his face and hands with them.
