حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلْتُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَهَمَّنِي دِينِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي اجْتَوَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَوْدٍ وَبِغَنَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ اشْرَبْ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ حَمَّادٌ:‏‏‏‏ وَأَشُكُّ فِي أَبْوَالِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هَذَا قَوْلُ حَمَّادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ:‏‏‏‏ فَكُنْتُ أَعْزُبُ عَنِ الْمَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَعِي أَهْلِي فَتُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ فَأُصَلِّي بِغَيْرِ طَهُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنِصْفِ النَّهَارِ وَهُوَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُوَ فِي ظِلِّ الْمَسْجِدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ هَلَكْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْزُبُ عَنِ الْمَاءِ وَمَعِي أَهْلِي فَتُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ فَأُصَلِّي بِغَيْرِ طُهُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَاءٍ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ جَارِيَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ بِعُسٍّ يَتَخَضْخَضُ مَا هُوَ بِمَلْآنَ فَتَسَتَّرْتُ إِلَى بَعِيرِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّ الصَّعِيدَ الطَّيِّبَ طَهُورٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِ الْمَاءَ إِلَى عَشْرِ سِنِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا وَجَدْتَ الْمَاءَ فَأَمِسَّهُ جِلْدَكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ رَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبْوَالَهَا. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِصَحِيحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَيْسَ فِي أَبْوَالِهَا إِلَّا حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْبَصْرَةِ.

A man from Banu Amir said: I embraced Islam and my (ignorance of the) religion made me anxious (to learn the essentials). I came to Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ . Abu Dharr said: The climate of Madina did not suit me. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ordered me to have a few camels and goats. He said to me: Drink their milk. (The narrator Hammad said): I doubt whether he (the Prophet) said: their urine. Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ said: I was away from the watering place and I had my family with me. I would have sexual defilement and pray without purification. I came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم at noon. He was resting in the shade of the mosque along with a group of Companions. He (the Prophet) said: Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ . I said: Yes, I am ruined, Messenger of Allah. He said: What ruined you ? I said: I was away from the watering place and I had family with me. I used to be sexually defiled and pray without purification. He commanded (to bring) water for me. Then a black slave-girl brought a vessel of water that was shaking as the vessel was not full. I concealed myself behind a camel and took bath and them came (to the Prophet). The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ , clean earth is a means of ablution, even if you do not find water for ten years. When you find water, you should make it touch your skin. Abu Dawud said: This is transmitted by Hammad bin Zaid from Ayyub. This version does not mention the words their urine. This is not correct. The words their urine occur only in the version reported by Anas رضی اللہ عنہ and transmitted only by the people of Basrah.
