أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَفْرُكُ الْجَنَابَةَ مِنْ ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

I remember rubbing the Janabah from the garment of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَجِدُهُ فِي ثَوْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَحُتُّهُ عَنْهُ ‏.‏

I remember finding it on the garment of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and scratching it off.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ بِابْنٍ لَهَا صَغِيرٍ لَمْ يَأْكُلِ الطَّعَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَأَجْلَسَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حِجْرِهِ فَبَالَ عَلَى ثَوْبِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَنَضَحَهُ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ .

She brought a small son of hers who has not started eating food to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took him in his lap and he urinated on his garment, so he called for some water and sprinkled it on it, but he did not wash it.

It was narrated from Umm Qais bin Mihsan رضی اللہ عنہا that

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قالت:‏‏‏‏ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَبِيٍّ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَأَتْبَعَهُ إِيَّاهُ .

A small boy was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he urinated on him, so he called for water and poured it on the place where the urine was.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي مُحِلُّ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو السَّمْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يُغْسَلُ مِنْ بَوْلِ الْجَارِيَةِ وَيُرَشُّ مِنْ بَوْلِ الْغُلَامِ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'A girl's urine should be washed away and a boy's urine should be sprinkled with water.'

Abu As-Samh رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أُنَاسًا أَوْ رِجَالًا مِنْ عُكْلٍ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالْإِسْلَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّا أَهْلُ ضَرْعٍ وَلَمْ نَكُنْ أَهْلَ رِيفٍ وَاسْتَوْخَمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَوْدٍ وَرَاعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا فِيهَا فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا . فَلَمَّا صَحُّوا وَكَانُوا بِنَاحِيَةِ الْحَرَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِمْ وَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاسْتَاقُوا الذَّوْدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَعَثَ الطَّلَبَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَسَمَرُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَقَطَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تُرِكُوا فِي الْحَرَّةِ عَلَى حَالِهِمْ حَتَّى مَاتُوا.

Some people from 'Ukl came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and spoke about Islam. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are nomads who follows the herds, not farmers and growers, and the climate of Al-Madinah does not suit us.' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)told them to go out to a flock of female camels and drink their milk and urine. When they recovered - and they were in the vicinity of Al-Harrah - they apostatized after having become Muslim, killed the camel-herder of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and drove the camels away. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he sent people after them. They were brought back, their eyes were smoldered with heated nails, their hands and feet cut off, then they were left in Al-Harrah in that state until they died.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ narrated that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ قَدِمَ أَعْرَابٌ مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَسْلَمُوا فَاجْتَوَوْا الْمَدِينَةَ حَتَّى اصْفَرَّتْ أَلْوَانُهُمْ وَعَظُمَتْ بُطُونُهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَعَثَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى لِقَاحٍ لَهُ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا . حَتَّى صَحُّوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَهَا وَاسْتَاقُوا الْإِبِلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَعَثَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ. قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ لِأَنَسٍ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ:‏‏‏‏ بِكُفْرٍ أَمْ بِذَنْبٍ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بِكُفْرٍ. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ لَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ غَيْرَ طَلْحَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالصَّوَابُ عِنْدِي وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مُرْسَلٌ.

Some Bedouins from 'Urainah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and became Muslims, but the climate of Al-Madinah did not suit them; their skin turned yellow and their stomachs became swollen. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent them to some pregnant camels of his and told them to drink their milk and urine until they recovered. Then they killed the camel-herder and drove the camels away. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent people after then and they were brought back. their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes were smoldered with burning nails. The Commander of the Believers, 'Abdul-Malik, said to Anas - when he was narrating this Hadith to him - (Were they being punished) for Kufr or for a sin? He said: For Kufr.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيم، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَخْلَدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ وَهُوَ ابْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ وَمَلَأٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ جُلُوسٌ وَقَدْ نَحَرُوا جَزُورًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْخُذُ هَذَا الْفَرْثَ بِدَمِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُهُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ وَجْهَهُ سَاجِدًا فَيَضَعُهُ يَعْنِي عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ فَانْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذَ الْفَرْثَ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ ثُمَّ أَمْهَلَهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ سَاجِدًا وَضَعَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُخْبِرَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ جَارِيَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَتْ تَسْعَى فَأَخَذَتْهُ مِنْ ظَهْرِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِقُرَيْشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِأَبِي جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَشَيْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مَعِيطٍ حَتَّى عَدَّ سَبْعَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ . قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ فَوَالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ صَرْعَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فِي قَلِيبٍ وَاحِدٍ.

Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ told us: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was praying at the House (the Ka'bah) and a group of the nobles of Quraish were sitting there. They had just slaughtered a camel and one of them said: Which of you will take these stomach contents with the blood and wait until he prostrates, then put them on his back? 'Abdullah said: 'The one who was most doomed got up and took the stomach contents, then went and waited until he prostrated himself, and put it on his back. Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who was a young girl, was told about that, and she came running and took it off his back. When he had finished praying he said: O Allah! Punish the Quraish, three times, O Allah, punish Abu Jahl bin Hisham, Shaibah bin Rabi'ah, 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah, 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait until he had listed seven men from Quraish.' 'Abdullah said: 'By the One Who revealed the Book to him, I saw them dead on the day of Badr (their corpses) in a single dry well.'

It was narrated that 'Amr bin Maimun said

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ فَرَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ .

The Prophet (ﷺ took the hem of his garment and spat on it, rubbed it together briefly and let it drop.

It was narrated from Anas رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مِهْرَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَبْزُقْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِلَّا فَبَزَقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَكَذَا فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَدَلَكَهُ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: When any one of you prays, let him not spit in front of him or to his right, rather let him spit to his left or beneath his feet. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) spat like this on his garment and rubbed it.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قالت:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ أَوْ ذَاتِ الْجَيْشِ انْقَطَعَ عِقْدٌ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَأَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْتِمَاسِهِ وَأَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَى النَّاسُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا تَرَى مَا صَنَعَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؟ أَقَامَتْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِالنَّاسِ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاضِعٌ رَأْسَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي قَدْ نَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَبَسْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالنَّاسَ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ:‏‏‏‏ فَعَاتَبَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَعَلَ يَطْعُنُ بِيَدِهِ فِي خَاصِرَتِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا مَنَعَنِي مِنَ التَّحَرُّكِ إِلَّا مَكَانُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى فَخِذِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ . فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ مَا هِيَ بِأَوَّلِ بَرَكَتِكُمْ يَا آلَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ فَبَعَثْنَا الْبَعِيرَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَجَدْنَا الْعِقْدَ تَحْتَهُ.

We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on one of his journeys, and when we were in Al-Baida' or Dhat Al-Jaish, a necklace of mine broke and fell. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stayed there looking for it and the people stayed with him. There was no water near them, and they did not have water with them. The people came to Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: 'Do you see what 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا has done? She has made the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the people stop and they are not near any water and they do not have water with them.' Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ, came while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was resting his head on my thigh and had gone to sleep. He said: 'You have detained the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the people, and they are not near any water and they do not have any water with them.' 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said: Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ rebuked me and said whatever Allah willed he would say. He started poking me on my hip, and the only thing that prevented me from moving was the fact that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was resting on my thigh. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) slept until morning when he woke up without any water. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed the verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'This is not the first time we have been blessed because of you, O family of Abu Bakr!' She said: Then we made the camel that I had been riding stand up, and we found the necklace beneath it.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

Abdullah bin Yasar the freed slave of Maimunah رضی اللہ عنہا , and I came and entered upon Abu Juhaim bin Al-Harith bin Al-Sammah Al-Ansari رضی اللہ عنہ . Abu Juhaim said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came back from the direction of Bi'r Al-jamal and was met by a man who greeted him with Salam, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not return the greeting until he turned to the wall and wiped his face and hands, then he returned the greeting.'

It was narrated from 'Umair the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہم that he heard him say

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي أَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدِ الْمَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تُصَلِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَمَا تَذْكُرُ إِذْ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَجْنَبْنَا فَلَمْ نَجِدِ الْمَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَتَمَعَّكْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَصَلَّيْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ فَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فِيهِمَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ . وَسَلَمَةُ شَكَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَا يَدْرِي فِيهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ أَوْ إِلَى الْكَفَّيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ نُوَلِّيكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ.

A man came to 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ and said: I have become Junub and I do not have any water. 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: Do not pray. But 'Ammar bin Yasir رضی اللہ عنہما said: O Commander of the Believers! Don't you remember when you and I were on a campaign and we became Junub and could not find water? You did not pray, but I rolled in the dust and prayed. Then we came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and told him about that, and he said: 'It would have been sufficient for you (to do this),' then the Prophet (ﷺ) struck his hands on the ground and blew on them, then wiped his face and hands with them' - (one of the narrators) Salamah was uncertain and did not know whether that was up to the elbows or just hands. And 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: We will let you bear the burden of what you took upon yourself.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abza from his father that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ بْنِ خُفَافٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَجْنَبْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الْإِبِلِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَاءً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَمَعَّكْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ تَمَعُّكَ الدَّابَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَجْزِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ التَّيَمُّمُ .

I became Junub while I was on a camel and I could not find any water, so I rolled in the dust like an animal. I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him about that, and he said: 'Tayammum would have been sufficient for you.'

It was narrated that 'Ammar bin Yasir رضی اللہ عنہما said

أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ عَرَّسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُولَاتِ الْجَيْشِ وَمَعَهُ عَائِشَةُ زَوْجَتُهُ فَانْقَطَعَ عِقْدُهَا مِنْ جَزْعِ ظِفَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحُبِسَ النَّاسُ ابْتِغَاءَ عِقْدِهَا ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَضَاءَ الْفَجْرُ وَلَيْسَ مَعَ النَّاسِ مَاءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَبَسْتِ النَّاسَ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ رُخْصَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ بِالصَّعِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَامَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَضَرَبُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمُ الْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَنْفُضُوا مِنَ التُّرَابِ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَسَحُوا بِهَا وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَنَاكِبِ وَمِنْ بُطُونِ أَيْدِيهِمْ إِلَى الْآبَاطِ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stopped to rest at the end of the night in Uwlat Al-Jaish. His wife 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا was with him and her necklace of Zifar beads [1] broke and fell. The army was detained looking for that necklace of hers until the break of the light of dawn and the people had no water with them. Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ got angry with her and said: 'You have detained the people and they do not have any water.' Then Allah the Mighty and Sublime revealed the concession allowing Tayammum with clean earth. So the Muslims got up with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and struck with their hands, then they raised their hands and did not strike them together to knock off any dust, then they wiped their faces and arms up to the shoulders, and from the inner side of their of their arms up to the armpits.

It was narrated that 'Ammar رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تَيَمَّمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالتُّرَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَسَحْنَا بِوُجُوهِنَا وَأَيْدِينَا إِلَى الْمَنَاكِبِ .

We did Tayammum with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) using dust, and we wiped our faces and our arms up to the shoulders.

It was narrated that 'Ammar bin Yasir رضی اللہ عنہما said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏رُبَّمَا نَمْكُثُ الشَّهْرَ وَالشَّهْرَيْنِ وَلَا نَجِدُ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا أَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا لَمْ أَجِدِ الْمَاءَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُصَلِّيَ حَتَّى أَجِدَ الْمَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَذْكُرُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ بِمَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَنَحْنُ نَرْعَى الْإِبِلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّا أَجْنَبْنَا ؟ قال:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَمَّا أَنَا فَتَمَرَّغْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَضَحِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ كَانَ الصَّعِيدُ لَكَافِيكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَضَرَبَ بِكَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فِيهِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَبَعْضَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ . فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا عَمَّارُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنْ شِئْتَ لَمْ أَذْكُرْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ نُوَلِّيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ.

We were with 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ when a man came to him and said: 'O Commander of the Believers! sometimes we stay for a month or two without finding any water. Umar said: As if I did not find water, I would not pray until I found water.' 'Ammar bin Yasir رضی اللہ عنہما said: 'Do you remember, O Commander of the Believer, when you were in such and such a place and we were rearing the camels, and you know that we became Junub?' He said: 'Yes.' 'As for me I rolled in the dust, then we came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he laughed and said: Clean earth would have been sufficient for you. And he struck his hands on the earth then blew on them, then he wiped his face and part of his forearms. He ('Umar رضی اللہ عنہ) said: Fear Allah, O 'Ammar!' He said: 'O Commander of the Believers! If you wish I will not mention it.' He said: 'No, we will let you bear the burden of what you took upon yourself.'

It was narrated that 'Abddur-Rahman bin Abza رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَزِيدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ التَّيَمُّمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَدْرِ مَا يَقُولُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَذْكُرُ حَيْثُ كُنَّا فِي سَرِيَّةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَجْنَبْتُ فَتَمَعَّكْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكَ هَكَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَضَرَبَ شُعْبَةُ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَنَفَخَ فِي يَدَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً .

A man asked 'Umar bin Al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ about Tayammum and he did not know what to say. 'Ammar رضی اللہ عنہ said: Do you remember when we were on a campaign, and I became Junub and rolled in the dust, then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: 'This would have been sufficient.' (One of the narrators) Shu'bah struck his hands on his knees and blew into his hands, then he wiped his face and palms with them once.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abza, from his father, that

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا خَالِدٌ، أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، سَمِعْتُ ذَرًّا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبْزَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ وَقَدْ سَمِعَهُ الْحَكَمُ، مِنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَجْنَبَ رَجُلٌ فَأَتَى عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنه - فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَاءً ‏.‏ قَالَ لاَ تُصَلِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ لَهُ عَمَّارٌ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ أَنَّا كُنَّا فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَجْنَبْنَا فَلَمْ نَجِدْ مَاءً فَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي تَمَعَّكْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَضَرَبَ شُعْبَةُ بِكَفَّيْهِ ضَرْبَةً وَنَفَخَ فِيهِمَا ثُمَّ دَلَكَ إِحْدَاهُمَا بِالأُخْرَى ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ شَيْئًا لاَ أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ لاَ حَدَّثْتُهُ ‏.‏ وَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا فِي هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ وَزَادَ سَلَمَةُ قَالَ بَلْ نُوَلِّيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ ‏.‏

A man became Junub and came to 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ , and said: 'I have become Junub and I cannot find any water.' He said: 'Do not pray.' 'Ammar رضی اللہ عنہ said to him: 'Do you not remember when we were on a campaign and became Junub. You did not prayed, then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and told him that, and he said: 'This would have been sufficient for you.' - (One of the narrators) Shu'bah struck his hands once and blew into them, then he rubbed them together, then wiped his face with them - ('Ammar said): 'Umar said something I did not understand. So he said: If you wish, I shall not narrate it. Salamah mentioned something in this chain from Abu Malik, and Salamah added that he said: Rather, we will let you bear the burden of what you tool upon yourself.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abdur-Rahman said

A man came to 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ and said: I have become Junub and I cannot find any water. 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: Do not pray. 'Ammar رضی اللہ عنہ said: Do you not remember, O Commander of the Believers, when you and I were on a campaign and became Junub, and we could not find any water. You did not pray, but I rolled in the dust then prayed. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) I told him about that and he said: 'This would have been sufficient for you,' and then Prophet (ﷺ) struck the earth with his hands then blew on them and wiped his face and hands - (one of the narrators) Salamah was uncertain and said: I do not know if he said it should be up to the elbows or just the hands. - 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: We will let you bear the burden of what you took upon yourself. (One of the narrators) Shu'bah said: He used to say the hands, face and forearms. (Another) Mansur said to him: What are you saying? No one mentions the forearms except you. Salamah was not certain and said: I do not know whether he mentioned the forearms or not.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abza رضی اللہ عنہ , from his father, that

I was siting with 'Abdullah and Abu Musa, and Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہم said: 'Have you not heard what 'Ammar رضی اللہ عنہ said to 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ : 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me on an errand and I became Junub, and I could not find water, so I rolled in the earth then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and told him about.' He said: 'It would have been sufficient for you to do this,' and he struck the earth with his hands, then wiped his hands, then knocked them together to remove the dust, then he wiped his right hand with his left and his left hand with his right, palm to palm, and wiped his face.' Then 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ said: Did you not see that 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ was not convinced by what 'Ammar رضی اللہ عنہ said?

It was narrated that Shaqiq said

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَوْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَجُلًا مُعْتَزِلًا لَمْ يُصَلِّ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا فُلَانُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ وَلَا مَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّعِيدِ فَإِنَّهُ يَكْفِيكَ .

I heard 'Imran bin Husain رضی اللہ عنہما (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.'

It was narrated that Abu Raja' said

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ هِشَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ بُجْدَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الصَّعِيدُ الطَّيِّبُ وَضُوءُ الْمُسْلِمِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Clean earth is the Wudu' of the Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years.'

It was narrated that Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قالت:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ حُضَيْرٍ وَنَاسًا يَطْلُبُونَ قِلَادَةً كَانَتْ لِعَائِشَةَ نَسِيَتْهَا فِي مَنْزِلٍ نَزَلَتْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى وُضُوءٍ وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّوْا بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ . قَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ جَزَاكِ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ بِكِ أَمْرٌ تَكْرَهِينَهُ إِلَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ خَيْرًا.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent Usaid bin Hudair رضی اللہ عنہ and some other people to look for a necklace that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا had left behind in a place where she had stopped (while traveling). The time for prayer came and they did not have Wudu', and they could not find any water, so they prayed without Wudu'. They mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed the verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'May Allah reward you with good, for by Allah, nothing ever happened to you that you dislike, but Allah makes it good for you and the Muslims.'

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ مُخَارِقًا أَخْبَرَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَارِقٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَجْنَبَ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَصَبْتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَجْنَبَ رَجُلٌ آخَرَ فَتَيَمَّمَ وَصَلَّى ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَحْوَ مَا قَالَ لِلْآخَرِ يَعْنِي أَصَبْتَ.

A man became Junub and did not pray, then he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned that to him. He said: You did the right thing. Another man became Junub and performed Tayammum and prayed, and he came to him and he said something similar to what he had told the other man - meaning, you did the right thing.

It was narrated from Tariq رضی اللہ عنہ that
