SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 1 > BOOK 7: RUBBING HANDS AND FEET WITH DUST (TAYAMMUM)
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.”
Volume 1, Book 7, Number 342:
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 prob –
ably perform Tayammum even if water was available, if one of them found it (water) cold.” The nar –
rator added, “I said to Shaqrq, “Then did ‘Abdullah dislike to perform Tayammum because of this?”
He replied, “Yes.”
Volume 1, Book 7, Number 331:
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 per –
form 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.

Volume 1, Book 7, Number 332:
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.
Volume 1, Book 7, Number 333:
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.
Volume 1, Book 7, Number 334:
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:
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.”
