346. Narrated Shaqīq bin Salama: I was with 'Abdullāh and Abū Mūsā; the latter asked the former, "O Abū Abdur-Raḥmān! What is your opinion if somebody becomes Junub and no water is available?" 'Abdullāh replied, "Do not offer Ṣalāt (prayer) till water is found." Abū Mūsā said, "What do you say about the statement of 'Ammār (who was ordered by the Prophet ﷺ to perform Tayammum). The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Perform Tayammum and that would be sufficient." 'Abdullāh replied, "Don't you see that 'Umar was not satisfied by 'Ammār's statement?" Abū Mūsā said, "All right, leave 'Ammār's statement, but what will you say about this Verse (of Tayammum)?" 'Abdullāh 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 Shaqīq, "Then did 'Abdullāh dislike to perform Tayammum because of this?" He replied, "Yes."

346 - حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَبِي مُوسَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى: أَرَأَيْتَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِذَا أَجْنَبَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَاءً، كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: لاَ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى يَجِدَ المَاءَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ بِقَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ حِينَ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ» قَالَ: أَلَمْ تَرَ عُمَرَ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: فَدَعْنَا مِنْ قَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ؟ فَمَا دَرَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا يَقُولُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا لَوْ رَخَّصْنَا لَهُمْ فِي هَذَا لَأَوْشَكَ إِذَا بَرَدَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمُ المَاءُ أَنْ يَدَعَهُ وَيَتَيَمَّمَ فَقُلْتُ لِشَقِيقٍ فَإِنَّمَا كَرِهَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لِهَذَا؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»
