338. It was reported from 'Aṭā' bin Yaṣār from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī, that he said: "Two people left on a journey. The time for prayer came, and they did not had any water. They performed Tayammum with pure earth, and prayed. They then found water within the time (for the prayer), so one of them repeated the prayer after performing Wudu', whereas the other did not. They then came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and
mentioned this to him. He said to the one who did not repeat (the prayer): 'You have correctly performed the Sunnah, and your prayer is sufficient for you.' And he said to the one who performed Wudū and repeated (the prayer): 'You get the reward twice.'" (Hasan)
Abū Dāwūd said: Others besides Ibn Nāfi' (one of the narrators) reported this from Al-Laith, from 'Umayr bin Abī Nājiyah, from Bakr bin Sawādah, from 'Aṭā' bin Yasār, from the Prophet ﷺ.
Abū Dāwūd said: The mention of Abū Sa'eed in this Hadīth has not been preserved, and it is Mursal.

Commentary
It is better to perform Ṣalāt in its earlier time. If one perform's Ṣalāt with Tayammum and afterwards, water becomes available for Wudū during the time for that same Ṣalāt, there is no need to repeat that Ṣalāt. If one does repeat that Ṣalāt with Wudū then they gain a double reward.
