عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّا نَمْكُثُ الشَّهْرَ وَالشَّهْرَيْنِ لَا نَجِدُ الْمَاءَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُصَلِّيَ حَتَّى أَجِدَ الْمَاءَ، فَقَالَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ: أَمَا تَذْكُرُ إِذْ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ بِأَرْضِ كَذَا نَرْعَى الْإِبِلَ فَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَجْنَبْتُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَتَمَعَّكْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ لَيَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الصَّعِيدِ أَنْ تَقُولَ هَكَذَا، وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ الْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ نَفَخَهَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مِنْ نِصْفِ الذِّرَاعِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: اتَّقِ اللهَ يَا عَمَّارُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ: فَبِمَا عَلَيَّ لَكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ لَا أَذْكُرَهُ مَا حَيِيتُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: كَلَّا وَاللهِ، وَلَكِنْ أُوَلِّيكَ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ
Translation
✧ A man from the desert came to ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb and said, “O Commander of the Faithful, we stay for a month or two without finding water.” ʿUmar said, “As for me, I would not pray until I find water.” ʿAmmār b. Yāsir said, “Do you not remember when you and I were in such-and-such a land tending camels, and you know that I became junub?” He said, “Yes.” “So I rolled in the dust and mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ. He laughed and said, ‘Clean earth would have sufficed you, like this,’ and he struck the ground with his hand, blew on them, and wiped his face and forearms up to near the middle of the forearm.” ʿUmar said, “Fear God, O ʿAmmār.” ʿAmmār said, “Because of the right I have over you, O Commander of the Faithful, if you wish I will never mention it as long as I live.” ʿUmar said, “No, by God, but we will entrust you with your affair as you have taken it.”
