Volume 1 - Book 07 - Rubbing
hands and feet with dust (Tayammum)
Volume 1, Book 7, Number 330:
|
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.

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."

Volume 1, Book 7, Number 340:
|
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."

Volume 1, Book 7, Number 343:

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."
