and I became Junub and could not find water so I rolled myself

over the dust (clean earth) like an animal does, and when I

told the Prophet of that he said, 'Like this would have been

sufficient.' The Prophet (saying so) lightly stroked the earth

with his hand once and blew it off, then passed his (left)

hand over the back of his right hand or his (right) hand over

the back of his left hand and then passed them over his face.'

So `Abdullah said to Abu- Musa, 'Don't you know that `Umar was

not satisfied with `Ammar's statement?' " Narrated Shaqiq:

While I was with `Abdullah and Abu Musa, the latter said to

the former, "Haven't you heard the statement of `Ammar to

`Umar? He said, "Allah's Apostle sent you and me out and I

became Junub and rolled myself in the dust (clean earth) (for

Tayammum). When we came to Allah's Apostle I told him about it

and he said, 'This would have been sufficient,' passing his

hands over his face and the backs of his hands once only.' "

1.344:

Narrated `Imran bin Husain Al-Khuza`i: Allah's Apostle saw a

person sitting aloof and not praying with the people. He asked

him, "O so and so! What prevented you from offering the prayer

with the people?" He replied, "O Allah's Apostle! I am Junub

and there is no water." The Prophet said, "Perform Tayammum

with clean earth and that will be sufficient for you."

Bk. 8: Prayers (Salat)

1.345:

Narrated Abu Dhar: Allah's Apostle said, "While I was at Mecca

the roof of my house was opened and Gabriel descended, opened

my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a

golden tray full of wisdom and faith and having poured its

contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and

ascended with me to the nearest heaven, when I reached the

nearest heaven, Gabriel said to the gatekeeper of the heaven,

'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel

answered: 'Gabriel.' He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?'
