345. Narrated Abū Wā'il: Abū Mūsā said to 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ "If one does not find water (for ablution) can he give up the prayer?" Abdullāh 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." Abū Mūsā said, "What about the statement of 'Ammār to 'Umar?" 'Abdullāh replied, "Umar was not satisfied by his statement."
