حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ الضَّرِيرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا بَيْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبِي مُوسَى، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَجْنَبَ فَلَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ شَهْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَمَا كَانَ يَتَيَمَّمُ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ شَهْرًا ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى:‏‏‏‏ فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ الْمَائِدَةِ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا سورة المائدة آية 6 ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ رُخِّصَ لَهُمْ فِي هَذَا لَأَوْشَكُوا إِذَا بَرَدَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَاءُ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمُوا بِالصَّعِيدِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى:‏‏‏‏ وَإِنَّمَا كَرِهْتُمْ هَذَا لِهَذَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى:‏‏‏‏ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ قَوْلَعَمَّار لِعُمَرَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَاجَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدَ الْمَاءَ فَتَمَرَّغْتُ فِي الصَّعِيدِ كَمَا تَتَمَرَّغُ الدَّابَّةُ ثُمَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ هَكَذَا:‏‏‏‏ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَنَفَضَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِشِمَالِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ وَبِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ عَلَى الْكَفَّيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ أَفَلَمْ تَرَ عُمَرَ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ بِقَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ.

While I was sitting between Abdullah and Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہما , the latter said: Abu Abdur-Rahman, what do you think if a man becomes defiled (because of seminal omission) and does not find water for a month; should he not perform tayammum ? He replied: No, even if he does not find water for a month. Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہا then said: How will you do with the Quranic version (about tayammum) in the chapter al-Ma'idah which says: . . . and you find no water, then go to clean, high ground (5: 6)? Abdullah (bin Masud) then said: If they (the people) are granted concession in this respect, they might perform tayammum with pure earth when water is cold. Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہا said: For this (reason) you forbade it ? He said: Yes. Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہا then said: Did you not hear what Ammar said to Umar رضی اللہ عنہا ? (He said): The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم sent me on some errand. I had seminal emission and I did not find water. Therefore, I rolled on the ground just as an animal rolls down. I then came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and made a mention of that to him. He said: It would have been enough for you to do thus. Then he struck the ground with his hands and shook them off and then stuck the right hand with his left hand and his left hand with his right hand (and wiped) over his hands (up to the wrist) and wiped his face. Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما then said to him: Did you not see that Umar رضی اللہ عنہا was not satisfied with the statement of Ammar ?
