[818] 110 – (368) It was narrated that Shaqiq said: "I was sitting with 'Abdullâh and Abü Müsâ when Abü Müsâ said: '0 Abil 'Abdur-Rahmân! If a man becomes sexually impure and cannot find any water for a month, what do you think he should do about offering alat?' 'Abdullâh said: 'He should not do Tayammum even if he does not find water for a month.' Abü Müsâ said: 'What about this Verse in Sârat Al-Ma 'idah: "…and you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth…'?'['] 'Abdullâh said: 'If A1-Mâ'idah 5:6. they were granted a concession because of this Verse, soon they would do Tayammum with clean earth if they found the water too cold.' Abü Müsâ said to 'Abdullâh: 'Have you not heard what 'Ammâr said?: "The Messenger of Allah 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 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." 'Abdullâh said: 'Did you not notice that 'Umar was not convinced by the words of 'Ammâr?"
