322. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abzā reported: "I was with 'Umar (bin Al-Khaṭṭāb) when a man came to him and said: 'We are sometimes in a place for a month or two (and don't have enough water for purification).' 'Umar said: 'As for me, I would not pray until I find water.' Then 'Ammār said to him: 'O Commander of the Believers! Do you not remember, once we were with the camels (outside the city), and became sexually impure. So as for me, I rubbed myself (with dust). When we returned to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned this to him, he said: "It was sufficient for you to do like this," and he hit both his hands on the earth, blew upon them, and wiped his face and hands up to half of his forearms.' Umar said to him: 'O Ammār! Fear Allāh.' He said: 'O Commander of the Believers! If you so desire, then by Allāh I will never mention this again.' So 'Umar said: 'No, by Allāh, we will leave you (to do) what you have done.'" (Saḥīḥ)

322 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: إِنَّا نَكُونُ بِالْمَكَانِ الشَّهْرَ وَالشَّهْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَكُنْ أُصَلِّي حَتَّى أَجِدَ الْمَاءَ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ إِذْ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فِي الْإِبِلِ، فَأَصَابَتْنَا جَنَابَةٌ، فَأَمَّا أَنَا، فَتَمَعَّكْتُ، فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ هَكَذَا، وَضَرَبَ بِيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ نَفَخَهُمَا، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ إِلَى نِصْفِ الذِّرَاعِ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا عَمَّارُ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنْ شِئْتَ وَاللَّهِ لَمْ أَذْكُرْهُ أَبَدًا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: كَلَّا وَاللَّهِ لَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ
