It would have been enough for you to strike the ground with you hands and then wipe them your face and your hands (up to the wrists). He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Abu Dawud said: This is also transmitted by Shu'bah from Husain on the authority of Abu Malik. He said: I heard 'Ammar saying so him his speech, except that in this version he added the words: "He blew." And Husain b. Muhammad narrated from Shu'bah on the authority of al-Hakam and in this version added the words:"He (the Prophet) struck the earth with his plans and blew."
Notes
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ، فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَضْرِبَ بِيَدَيْكَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَتَمْسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَكَ وَكَفَّيْكَ ". وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمَّارًا يَخْطُبُ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمْ يَنْفُخْ. وَذَكَرَ حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ ضَرَبَ بِكَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَنَفَخَ

Abū Dāwūd said: Shuʿbah narrated it from Ḥuṣayn, from Abū Mālik, who said: I heard ʿAmmār giving a sermon, with the like of it, except that he said: "He did not blow." And Ḥusayn b. Muḥammad mentioned from Shuʿbah, from al-Ḥakam, in this hadith, that he said: "He struck the ground with his palms and blew."

- Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
حديث عمار فورد بذكر الكفين في الصحيحين وبذكر المرفقين في السنن وفي رواية إلى نصف الذراع وفي رواية إلى الآباط فأما رواية المرفقين وكذا نصف الذراع ففيهما مقال وأما رواية الآباط فقال الشافعي وغيره مما تقدم ذكره مرارا ومما يقوي رواية الصحيحين في الاقتصار على الوجه والكفين
machine translationAs for the hadith of ʿAmmār, it came with mention of the two palms in the two Ṣaḥīḥs, with mention of the elbows in the Sunan, in one narration up to half the forearm, and in another up to the armpits. The narrations of the elbows and likewise of half the forearm are open to criticism. As for the narration of the armpits, al-Shāfiʿī and others said what has been mentioned many times before. Among what strengthens the narration of the two Ṣaḥīḥs is that it limits tayammum to the face and the two palms.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 326 - Taḥāwī
ما ذكره الطحاوي وارتضى به العيني في عمدة القاري من أن حديث عمار لا يصلح حجة في كون التيمم إلى الكوعين أو المرفقين أو المنكبين أو الإبطين لاضطرابه وفيه أن الاضطراب في هذا المقام غير مضر لكون روايات المرفقين والمنكبين مرجوحة ضعيفة بالنسبة إلى غيرها فسقط الاعتبار بها وروايات الآباط قصتها مقدمة على قصة روايات الكفين فلا تعارضها فبقيت روايات الكفين سالمة عن القدح والمعارضة انتهى كلام صاحب السعاية مختصرا
machine translationWhat al-Ṭaḥāwī mentioned, and al-ʿAynī accepted in ʿUmdat al-Qārī, is that the hadith of ʿAmmār is not fit to be used as evidence for tayammum extending to the wrists, or the elbows, or the shoulders, or the armpits, because of its inconsistency (iḍṭirāb). But the inconsistency here does no harm, because the narrations of the elbows and the shoulders are weaker and outweighed in comparison with the others, so they are discounted. As for the narrations of the armpits, their story came earlier than the story of the narrations of the two palms, so they do not conflict with it. Thus the narrations of the two palms remain free from criticism and conflict. End of the words of the author of al-Siʿāyah, abridged.
