حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ خُرَيْقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجْنَا فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَصَابَ رَجُلًا مِنَّا حَجَرٌ فَشَجَّهُ فِي رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ احْتَلَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ تَجِدُونَ لِي رُخْصَةً فِي التَّيَمُّمِ ؟ فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ مَا نَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً وَأَنْتَ تَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاغْتَسَلَ فَمَاتَ. فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَلَا سَأَلُوا إِذْ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّمَا شِفَاءُ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيهِ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ وَيَعْصِرَ أَوْ يَعْصِبَ شَكَّ مُوسَى عَلَى جُرْحِهِ خِرْقَةً ثُمَّ يَمْسَحَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَغْسِلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ .

We set out on a journey. One of our people was hurt by a stone, that injured his head. The then had a sexual dream. He asked his fellow travelers: Do you find a concession for me to perform tayammum? They said: We do not find any concession for you while you can use water. He took a bath and died. When we came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, the incident was reported to him. He said: They killed him, may Allah kill them! Could they not ask when they did not know ? The fire of ignorance is inquiry. It was enough for him to perform tayammum and to our some drops of water or bind a bandage over the wound (the narrator Musa was doubtful); then he should have wiped over it and washed the rest of his body.
