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 re –
vealed.” 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.

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.” ‘Am –
mar 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.”
Volume 1, Book 7, Number 335:

(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.”

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 de –
tained 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.
