Sahih Muslim Book - 3, Hadith - 818

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ شَقِيقٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَبِي مُوسَى فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَجْنَبَ فَلَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ شَهْرًا كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ بِالصَّلَاةِ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَا يَتَيَمَّمُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ الْمَاءَ شَهْرًا فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَكَيْفَ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فِي سُورَةِ الْمَائِدَةِ:{ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا }فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَوْ رُخِّصَ لَهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ لَأَوْشَكَ إِذَا بَرَدَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَاءُ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمُوا بِالصَّعِيدِ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ قَوْلَ عَمَّارٍ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَأَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدِ الْمَاءَ فَتَمَرَّغْتُ فِي الصَّعِيدِ كَمَا تَمَرَّغُ الدَّابَّةُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ بِيَدَيْكَ هَكَذَا ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدَيْهِ الْأَرْضَ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ مَسَحَ الشِّمَالَ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ وَظَاهِرَ كَفَّيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَلَمْ تَرَ عُمَرَ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ بِقَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ.

It was narrated that Shaqiq said: "I was sitting with 'Abdullah and Abu Musa when Abu Musa said: 'O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! If a man becomes sexually impure and cannot find any water for a month, what do you think he should do about offering Salat?' 'Abdullah said: 'He should not do Tayammum even if he does not find water for a month.' Abu Musa said: 'What about this Verse in Surat Al-Ma'idah: "...and you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth..."?' 'Abdullah said: 'If they were granted a concession because of this Verse, soon they would do Tayammum with clean earth if they found the water too cold.' Abu Musa said to 'Abdullah: 'Have you not heard what 'Ammar said?: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent me on an errand and I became sexually impure. I could not find any water, so I rolled in the dust like an animal, then I came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and told him about that. He said: 'It would have been sufficient for you to do like this with your hands' - then he struck the ground with his hands once, then wiped the left hand over the right, and the back of his hands and his face.'" 'Abdullah said: 'Did you not notice that 'Umar was not convinced by the words of 'Ammar?"'
