"I heard 'Imran bin Husain (say) that the Prophet ﷺ saw a man who was by himself and did not pray with the people. He said: 'O So and so, what kept you from praying with the people?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have become Junub and there is no water.' He said: 'You should use earth for that will suffice you.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى رَجُلاً مُعْتَزِلاً لَمْ يُصَلِّ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ يَا فُلاَنُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ وَلاَ مَاءَ قَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَإِنَّهُ يَكْفِيكَ

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, then we camped. He called for ablution (wudu) and performed it. Then the call to prayer was announced and he led the people in prayer. When he finished his prayer, he saw a man who had not prayed with the people, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "What prevented you, O so-and-so, from praying with the people?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I was in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) and had no water." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then perform dry ablution (tayammum) as it is sufficient for you."
