أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ
يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّمَا نَمْكُثُ الشَّهْرَ وَالشَّهْرَيْنِ وَلَا نَجْدُ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِذَا لَمْ أَجِدِ الْمَاءَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لَأُصَلِّي حَتَّى أَجِدَ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ أَتَذْكُرُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ بِمَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَنَحْنُ نَرْعَى الْإِبِلَ فَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّا أَجْنَبْنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَّا أَنَا فَتَمَرَّغْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ الصَّعِيدُ لَكَافِيكَ» وَضَرَبَ بِكَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فِيهِمَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَبَعْضَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ قَالَ اتَّقِ اللهَ يَا عَمَّارُ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنْ شِئْتَ لَمْ أَذْكُرْهُ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ نُوَلِّيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ

✧ "O Commander of the Faithful, we remain for a month or two months without finding water." 'Umar said: "As for me, if I do not find water, I will not pray until I find water." 'Ammar b. Yasir said: "Do you remember, O Commander of the Faithful, when you were at such-and-such a place and we were tending camels and you know that we became junub?" He said: "Yes. As for me, I rolled in the dust, then came to the Prophet ﷺ. He laughed and said: 'Clean earth would have sufficed you.' He struck his palms on the ground, then blew into them, then wiped his face and part of his forearms." He said: "Fear Allah, O 'Ammar." He said: "O Commander of the Faithful, if you wish, I will not mention it." He said: "No, but we will entrust you with that which you have undertaken."
