"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: إِذَا أَجْنَبَ الرَّجُلُ فِى فَلَاةٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَمَعَهُ الْمَاءُ الْيَسِيرُ فَلْيُؤثرْ (نَفْسَهُ) بِالْمَاءِ وَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ بِالصَّعِيدِ".  

[ص] سعيد بن منصور

[Machine] If a person enters a barren land and has a small amount of water with them, then they should save themselves with the water and perform ablution with sand.  

البيهقي:١١٠٧ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ زَاذَانَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

إِذَا أَجْنَبَ الرَّجُلُ فِي أَرْضٍ فَلَاةٍ وَمَعَهُ مَاءٌ يَسِيرٌ فَلْيُوثِرُ نَفْسَهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ بِالصَّعِيدِ
