-----------------------------------------
Narated By '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.

Narated By 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.

-----------------------------------------
Narated By '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.

Narated By Abu Juhaim Al-Ansari : The Prophet came from the direction of Bir Jamal. A man met him and greeted

dust (performed Tayammum) and then returned back the greeting.

was available." 'Ammar 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."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By 'Imran : Once we were travelling with the Prophet and we carried on travelling 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 traveller 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."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By 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."
Volumn 001, Book 007, Hadith Number 342.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By 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."
Volumn 001, Book 007, Hadith Number 343.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By 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.'"

Narated By '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."
