315. It was narrated that 'Ammār said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stopped to rest at the end of the night in Uwlāt Al-Jaish. His wife
‘Aishah was with him and her necklace of Zifâr beads[1] broke and fell. The army was detained looking for that necklace of hers until the break of the light of dawn and the people had no water with them. Abû Bakr got angry with her and said: ‘You have detained the people and they do not have any water.’ Then Allâh the Mighty and Sublime revealed the concession allowing Tayammum with clean earth. So the Muslims got up with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and struck the earth with their hands, then they raised their hands and did not strike them together to knock off any of the dust, then they wiped their faces and arms up to the shoulders, and from the inner side of their of their arms up to the armpits.” (Sahîh)

Commentary
Making dry ablution up to the shoulders and the armpits is in contradiction to other reports. Some people might have done so on their own. This is not reported from Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ. And this was done for the first time in the process of doing the dry ablution after the revelation of the command. Later its procedure was established by the practice of the Prophet ﷺ.
