570. It was narrated from Hakam and Salamah bin Kuhail that they asked 'Abdullâh bin Abi Awfa about dry ablution. He said: "The Prophet ﷺ commanded 'Ammâr to do like this;" and he struck the ground with his palms, shook the dust off and wiped his face. (Da'if) Hakam said, "and his hands." Salamah said, "and his elbows."
570 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، أَنَّهُمَا سَأَلَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى، عَنِ التَّيَمُّمِ فَقَالَ: «أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَمَّارًا أَنْ يَفْعَلَ هَكَذَا، وَضَرَبَ بِيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ نَفَضَهُمَا، وَمَسَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ» قَالَ الْحَكَمُ: وَيَدَيْهِ، وَقَالَ سَلَمَةُ: وَمِرْفَقَيْهِ

The upshot of the matter is that one of the narrators (Hakam) reports that, having wiped the face, the Prophet ﷺ rubbed his one hand on the other (which is correct). The second narrator (Salamah) said that he ﷺ, afterwards, wiped his elbows with the hands. This version is not acceptable since it contradicts the other dependable narrations. Moreover, the Hadith itself is Weak.
