حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ ذَرٍّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدِ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لاَ تُصَلِّ فَقَالَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَجْنَبْنَا فَلَمْ نَجِدِ الْمَاءَ فَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَتَمَعَّكْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَصَلَّيْتُ فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ وَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فِيهِمَا وَمَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ

A man came to 'Umar bin khattab and said: "I became impure following sexual emission and cannot find any water." 'Umar said to him: "Do not pray." But 'Ammar bin Yasir said: "Do you not remember, O Commander of the Believers, when you and I were on a military expedition and we became sexually impure and could not find water? As for you, you did not pray, but I rolled in the dust and then prayed. When I came to the Prophet and told him what had happened, he said: 'It would have been enough for you (to do this).' (Then demonstrating) the Prophet struck the ground with his hands, then blew on hem, and wiped his face and palms with them."

- 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 ابن ماجه, p. 611 - 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.
