Sahih Ibn Hibban 1305

Translation

✧ Abu Musa said to 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud, "If a person who is junub does not find water for a month, should he not pray?" 'Abdullah said, "No." Abu Musa said, "Do you not remember when 'Ammar b. Yasir said to 'Umar, 'O Commander of the Believers, will you not fear Allah? Do you not remember when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me and you on the camels, and I became junub, so I rolled in the dust? When I returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'It would have sufficed you to do like this,' and he struck the ground with his hand, then wiped his face and palms." 'Abdullah said, "No indeed, I did not see 'Umar satisfied with that." Abu Musa said, "Then what about this verse in Surat al-Nisa': {And if you do not find water, then perform tayammum} with clean earth?" 'Abdullah said, "Indeed, if we granted them this concession, it would soon happen that when the water is cold on one of their skin, he would perform tayammum."
