Volume 9, Book 88, Number 223:
Narrated Shaqiq bin Salama:
I was sitting with Abu Mas’ud and Abu Musa and ‘Ammar. Abu Mas’ud said (to ‘Ammar), “There is
none of your companions but, if I wish, I could find fault with him except with you. Since you joined
the company of the Prophet I have never seen anything done by you more criticizable by me than

your haste in this issue.” ‘Ammar said, O Abu Mas’ud ! I have never seen anything done by you or by
this companion of yours (i.e., Abu Musa) more criticizable by me than your keeping away from this
issue since the time you both joined the company of the Prophet.”
Then Abu Mas’ud who was a rich man, said (to his servant), “O boy! Bring two suits.” Then he gave
one to Abu Musa and the other to ‘Ammar and said (to them), “Put on these suits before going for the
Friday prayer. “

Once ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud delivered a sermon before us and said, “By Allah, I learnt over seventy
Suras direct from Allah’s Apostle . By Allah, the companions of the Prophet came to know that I am
one of those who know Allah’s Book best of all of them, yet I am not the best of them.” Shaqiq added: I
sat in his religious gathering and I did not hear anybody opposing him (in his speech).
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.”
