Rubbing hands and feet with dust (Tayammum)
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) We set out with Allahs Apostle on one of his
journeys till we reached Al-Baida' or Dhatul-Jaish, a necklace of mine
was broken (and lost). Allah's Apostle stayed there to search for it,
and so did the people along with him. There was no water at that
place, so the people went to Abu- Bakr As-Siddiq and said, "Don't you
see what 'Aisha has done? She has made Allah's Apostle and the people
stay where there is no water and they have no water with them." Abu
Bakr came while Allah's Apostle was sleeping with his head on my
thigh, He said, to me: "You have detained Allah's Apostle and the
people where there is no water and they have no water with them.So he admonished me and said what Allah wished him to say and hit me
on my flank with his hand. Nothing prevented me from moving (because
of pain) but the position of Allah's Apostle on my thigh. Allah's
Apostle got up when dawn broke and there was no water. So Allah
revealed the Divine Verses of Tayammum. So they all performed
Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair said, "O the family of Abu Bakr! This is
not the first blessing of yours." Then the camel on which I was riding
was caused to move from its place and the necklace was found beneath
it.
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "I have been given five things which were not given
to any one else before me.1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies)
for a distance of one month's journey.2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for
praying and a thing to perform Tayammum, therefore anyone of my
followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful
for anyone else before me.4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of
Resurrection).5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been
sent to all mankind.
Narrated 'Urwa's father:
Aisha said, "I borrowed a necklace from Asma' and it was lost. So
Allah's Apostle sent a man to search for it and he found it. Then the
time of the prayer became due and there was no water. They prayed
(without ablution) and informed Allah's Apostle about it, so the verse
of Tayammum was revealed." Usaid bin Hudair said to 'Aisha, "May Allah
reward you. By Allah, whenever anything happened which you did not
like, Allah brought good for you and for the Muslims in that."Al-Jurf and the time for the 'Asr prayer became due while he was at
Marbad-AnNa'am (sheep-fold), so he (performed Tayammum) and prayed
there and then entered Medina when the sun was still high but he did
not repeat that prayer.
Narrated Abu Juhaim Al-Ansari:
The Prophet came from the direction of Bir Jamal. A man met him and
greeted him. But he did not return back the greeting till he went to a
(mud) wall and smeared his hands and his face with its dust (performed
Tayammum) and then returned back the greeting.
Narrated 'Abdur Rahman bin Abza:
A man came to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab and said, "I became Junub but no
water was available." 'Ammar bin Yasir said to 'Umar, "Do you remember
that you and I (became Junub while both of us) were together on a
journey and you didn't pray but I rolled myself on the ground and
prayed? I informed the Prophet about it and he said, 'It would have
been sufficient for you to do like this.' The Prophet then stroked
lightly the earth with his hands and then blew off the dust and passed
his hands over his face and hands."
Narrated Said bin 'Abdur Rahman bin Abza:
(on the authority of his father who said) 'Ammar said so (the above
Statement). And Shu'ba stroked lightly the earth with his hands and
brought them close to his mouth (blew off the dust) and passed them
over his face and then the backs of his hands. 'Ammar said, "Ablution
(meaning Tayammum here) is sufficient for a Muslim if water is not
available."
Narrated 'Abdur Rahman bin Abza:
that while he was in the company of 'Umar, 'Ammar said to 'Umar, "We
were in a detachment and became Junub and I blew the dust off my hands
(performed the rolling over the earth and prayed.)"
Narrated 'Abdur Rahman bin Abza:
'Ammar said to 'Umar "I rolled myself in the dust and came to the
Prophet who said, 'Passing dusted hands over the face and the backs of
the hands is sufficient for you.' "
Narrated 'Ammar:
as above.
Narrated 'Ammar:
The Prophet stroked the earth with his hands and then passed them over
his face and the backs of his hands (while demonstrating Tayammum).
Narrated 'Imran:
Once we were traveling with the Prophet and we carried on traveling
till the last part of the night and then we (halted at a place) and
slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveler in
the last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that
made us to wake up and the first to wake up was so and so, then so and
so and then so and so (the narrator 'Auf said that Abu Raja' had told
him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to
wake up was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. And whenever the Prophet used to
sleep, nobody would wake up him till he himself used to get up as we
did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep.
So, 'Umar got up and saw the condition of the people, and he was a
strict man, so he said, "Allahu Akbar" and raised his voice with
Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet got up because of
it. When he got up, the people informed him about what had happened to
them. He said, "There is no harm (or it will not be harmful). Depart!"
So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the
Prophet stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So
he performed the ablution and the call for the prayer was pronounced
and he led the people in prayer. After he finished from the prayer, he
saw a man sitting aloof who had not prayed with the people. He asked,
"O so and so! What has prevented you from praying with us?" He
replied, "I am Junub and there is no water. " The Prophet said,
"Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you."Then the Prophet proceeded on and the people complained to him of
thirst. Thereupon he got down and called a person (the narrator 'Auf
added that Abu Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and 'Ali, and
ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water
and met a woman who was sitting on her camel between two bags of
water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She replied, "I was
there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are
behind me." They requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?"
They said, "To Allah's Apostle ." She said, "Do you mean the man who
is called the Sabi, (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the
same person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet and
narrated the whole story. He said, "Help her to dismount." The Prophet
asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured some
water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and
opened the small ones and the people were called upon to drink and
water their animals. So they all watered their animals and they (too)
all quenched their thirst and also gave water to others and last of
all the Prophet gave a pot full of water to the person who was Junub
and told him to pour it over his body. The woman was standing and
watching all that which they were doing with her water. By Allah, when
her water bags were returned the looked like as if they were more full
(of water) than they had been before (Miracle of Allah's Apostle) Then
the Prophet ordered us to collect something for her; so dates, flour
and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in
a piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth
full of food-stuff was also placed in front of her and then the
Prophet said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given
water to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "O so
and so what has delayed you?" She said, "A strange thing! Two men met
me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such and
such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between
this and this (gesturing with her index and middle fingers raising
them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is
Allah's true Apostle."Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but
never touched her village. One day she said to her people, "I think
that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any inclination to
Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam.Abu 'Abdultah said: The word Saba'a means "The one who has deserted
his old religion and embraced a new religion." Abul 'Ailya said, "The
Sabis are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the Book of
Psalms."
Narrated Abu Wail:
Abu Muisa said to'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, "If one does not find water
(for ablution) can he give up the prayer?" Abdullah replied, "If you
give the permission to perform Tayammum they will perform Tayammum
even if water was available if one of them found it cold." Abu Musa
said, "What about the statement of 'Ammar to 'Umar?" 'Abdullah
replied, "Umar was not satisfied by his statement."
Narrated Shaqiq bin Salama:
I was with 'Abdullah and Abu Musa; the latter asked the former, "O Abu
AbdurRahman! What is your opinion if somebody becomes Junub and no
water is available?" 'Abdullah replied, "Do not pray till water is
found." Abu Musa said, "What do you say about the statement of 'Ammar
(who was ordered by the Prophet to perform Tayammum). The Prophet said
to him: "Perform Tayammum and that would be sufficient." 'Abdullah
replied, "Don't you see that 'Umar was not satisfied by 'Ammar's
statement?" Abu- Musa said, "All right, leave 'Ammalr's statement, but
what will you say about this verse (of Tayammum)?" 'Abqiullah kept
quiet and then said, "If we allowed it, then they would probably
perform Tayammum even if water was available, if one of them found it
(water) cold." The narrator added, "I said to Shaqrq, "Then did
'Abdullah dislike to perform Tayammum because of this?" He replied,
"Yes."
Narrated Al-A'mash:
Shaqiq said, "While I was sitting with 'Abdullah and Abu Musa
Al-Ash-'ari, the latter asked the former, 'If a person becomes Junub
and does not find water for one month, can he perform Tayammum and
offer his prayer?' (He applied in the negative). Abu Musa said, 'What
do you say about this verse from Surat "Al-Ma'ida": When you do not
find water then perform Tayammum with clean earth? 'Abdullah replied,
'If we allowed it then they would probably perform Tayammum with clean
earth even if water were available but cold.' I said to Shaqiq, 'You
then disliked to perform Tayammum because of this?' Shaqiq said,'Yes.'
(Shaqiq added), "Abu Musa said, 'Haven't you heard the statement of
'Ammar to 'Umar? He said: I was sent out by Allah's Apostle for some
job and I became Junub and could not find water so I rolled myself
over the dust (clean earth) like an animal does, and when I told the
Prophet of that he said, 'Like this would have been sufficient.' The
Prophet (saying so) lightly stroked the earth with his hand once and
blew it off, then passed his (left) hand over the back of his right
hand or his (right) hand over the back of his left hand and then
passed them over his face.' So 'Abdullah said to Abu- Musa, 'Don't you
know that 'Umar was not satisfied with 'Ammar's statement?' "Narrated Shaqiq: While I was with 'Abdullah and Abu Musa, the latter
said to the former, "Haven't you heard the statement of 'Ammar to
'Umar? He said, "Allah's Apostle sent you and me out and I became
Junub and rolled myself in the dust (clean earth) (for Tayammum). When
we came to Allah's Apostle I told him about it and he said, 'This
would have been sufficient,' passing his hands over his face and the
backs of his hands once only.' "
Narrated 'Imran bin Husain Al-Khuza'i:
Allah's Apostle saw a person sitting aloof and not praying with the
people. He asked him, "O so and so! What prevented you from offering
the prayer with the people?" He replied, "O Allah's Apostle! I am
Junub and there is no water." The Prophet said, "Perform Tayammum with
clean earth and that will be sufficient for you."
