571. It was narrated from 'Ammâr bin Yâsir that when they did dry ablution with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, he commanded the Muslims to strike the dust with the palms of their hands, and they did not pick up any dust. Then they wiped their faces once, then they struck the dust with their palms once again and wiped their hands. (Sahih)
571 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، حِينَ تَيَمَّمُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «فَأَمَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَضَرَبُوا بِأَكُفِّهِمُ التُّرَابَ، وَلَمْ يَقْبِضُوا مِنَ التُّرَابِ شَيْئًا، فَمَسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِهِمْ مَسْحَةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ عَادُوا، فَضَرَبُوا بِأَكُفِّهِمُ الصَّعِيدَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، فَمَسَحُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ»

Most of the narrations reported from 'Ammâr bin Yâsir ﷺ speak of striking the dust once. His own Fatwa (formal legal opinion), as pointed out by Imâm Tirmidhi, speaks of doing the dry ablution by a single strike of the hands. Imâm Shawkânî says: "All reports speaking of double strike of the hands on the dust are open to question. Had the reports been sound they would have been implemented, especially because they contain one additional element which would have to be accepted." The right thing to do is, thus, to accept the Hadith contained in the two most authentic books (Sahih Bukhârî & Sahih Muslim) which is about making a single strike of the hands on the dust, unless the report telling about double strike of the hands were proven to be authentic.
